Find Out When You’ll Get Your Benefits
The department has announced the schedule for when benefits will be sent out to families who are enrolled in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). EBT benefits are sent out on the same day each month, based on the last digit of the recipient’s SSN. For example, if your SSN ends in a 1, benefits will be sent out on the first day of the month. If the SSN ends in 2, benefits will be sent out on the second day of the month, and so on.
EBT cards can be used to purchase food at authorized retailers and farmers’ markets. This provides critical assistance to families who are struggling to put food on the table. In North Carolina, more than 1 million families receive food stamp benefits each month. The department has been working to ensure that these benefits are provided in a timely and efficient manner.
