SNAP New York – 6 Remaining Payment Dates in September for Food Stamps, with Checks Up to $1,751

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has confirmed the next round of SNAP payments for New York in September 2024. If you’re living in New York and rely on SNAP benefits, you can expect your EBT card to be reloaded between September 4 and September 10. However, only eligible recipients will receive these payments, meaning that if you haven’t applied and been approved, you won’t qualify for the benefits.

Let’s cut into the payment dates, eligibility, and the maximum benefit amounts you can expect.

Payment Dates

In New York, the date you receive your SNAP benefits depends on the last digit of your case number. This system ensures that payments are distributed gradually over several days:

• Case numbers ending in 4: Benefits available on September 4.
• Case numbers ending in 5: Benefits available on September 5.
• Case numbers ending in 6: Benefits available on September 6.
• Case numbers ending in 7: Benefits available on September 7.
• Case numbers ending in 8: Benefits available on September 8.
• Case numbers ending in 9: Benefits available on September 9.

If your case number ends in these digits, your SNAP funds will be deposited on the corresponding dates, ensuring you can purchase groceries and essentials at participating stores, farmers’ markets, and retailers.

Maximum SNAP Payment

For residents of New York, the maximum SNAP allotments are identical to those in the 48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia. These benefit amounts are based on household size and will remain in place until September 30, 2024, after which the 2025 cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) will apply.

Here’s a table outlining the maximum SNAP amounts in New York based on the number of people in the household:

These maximum benefit amounts are intended to help low-income individuals and families afford nutritious food. If you have more than eight members in your household, you’ll receive an additional $219 per person.

Eligibility Requirements

To receive SNAP benefits in New York, it’s essential that you meet the eligibility criteria. If you haven’t applied for or been approved for benefits, you won’t qualify for payments in September. To be eligible, you must fall within the income limits based on your household size, and you need to regularly update your SNAP case to ensure your information is current.
