Food Assistance in Florida
Attention all beneficiaries of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program in the Sunshine State! Your much-needed food assistance is on its way and will be arriving within the next four days.
In Florida, food stamp benefits are distributed from the 1st through the 28th of every month, ensuring that every person in the program receives their monthly payment by July 28.
The Intriguing Distribution Schedule
The distribution schedule for food stamps in the Sunshine State is based on a fascinating formula that involves certain digits in a person’s case number. By taking the ninth and eighth digits of the case number, a unique two-digit number is created, which determines when the benefits will be received.
For instance, if a recipient’s ninth digit is 9 and the eighth digit is 8, the resulting number for this formula would be 98.
Here’s how it works:
- Case numbers with the two-digit number ranging from 00 to 03 will receive benefits on the 1st of the month.
- Case numbers with the two-digit number ranging from 04 to 06 will receive benefits from the 2nd through the 27th of the month.
- Case numbers with the two-digit number ranging from 93 to 95 will receive benefits on the 27th of the month.
- Case numbers with the two-digit number ranging from 96 to 99 will receive benefits on the 28th of the month.
It’s an intriguing system that ensures everyone gets their much-needed assistance at the right time.

Officials in the Sunshine State have also clarified what food stamp benefits can and cannot be used for. You can use your benefits to purchase a wide range of essential items such as breads, cereals, fruits, vegetables, meats, fish, poultry, dairy, and even plants and seeds to grow your own food. However, it’s important to note that food stamps cannot be used to buy pet foods, soaps, paper products, household supplies, grooming items, alcoholic beverages, tobacco, vitamins, medicines, food to eat in the store, or hot foods.
Rest assured, your food stamp benefits will be loaded onto an EBT (electronic benefit transfer) card, allowing you to conveniently use your monthly payments for eligible items at grocery stores or other participating stores.
