All Florida SNAP Beneficiaries to Receive July Payments on Friday
All those who benefit from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), a form of assistance to pay for food, in Florida will receive their July payments on Friday. This program, commonly known as food stamps, is distributed from the 1st through the 28th of each month, ensuring that all July benefits will be given to beneficiaries by July 28.
Decline in Inflation to 3% in June
According to a key gauge monitored by the Federal Reserve, inflation declined to 3% in June.
SNAP provides an average benefit payment of $180 per household member in the Sunshine State. Approximately 2.85 million people, which accounts for roughly 13% of the state’s population, receive assistance to pay for groceries.
Food stamps in Florida are distributed using a unique formula. The ninth and eighth digits of a person’s case number are combined to create a two-digit number, which determines the day when someone receives their benefits. For example, if a recipient’s ninth digit is 9 and their eighth digit is 8, the corresponding number for this formula would be 98.
The distribution of benefits is as follows:
- Case numbers with the combination 00-03 receive benefits on the 1st of the month.
- Case numbers with the combinations 04-06 through 93-95 receive benefits from the 2nd through the 27th of the month.
- Case numbers with the combinations 96-99 receive benefits on the 28th of the month.

SNAP benefits can be used to purchase a variety of food items, including breads, cereals, fruits, vegetables, meats, fish, poultry, dairy, and plants and seeds for growing food. However, they cannot be used for pet foods, soaps, paper products, household supplies, grooming items, alcoholic beverages, tobacco, vitamins, medicines, food to eat in the store, or hot foods, as stated by the state.
