The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) payments for November 2024 are scheduled to reach millions of Americans, with distribution dates depending on state-specific protocols. This month’s payments will include the 2025 cost-of-living adjustment (COLA), ensuring that the maximum SNAP benefit amounts remain steady through September 30, 2025. Here’s a detailed breakdown of payment dates for November across all states and U.S. territories.
Last October Payments
In October, Florida and Texas were among the last states to complete their SNAP payments.
- Florida: Payments depend on the 9th and 8th digits of the beneficiary’s case number, read backward. To receive funds on October 28, the digits should be between 96-99.
- Texas: Payments go out based on the EDG number’s last two digits, with the final October payments going to recipients with numbers ending in 42-45, 50-53, or 96-99.
Following these, recipients across all states and territories will begin receiving their November payments as scheduled.
