In Florida, the Department of Children and Families (DCF) administers the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), commonly referred to as food stamps. The day on which SNAP benefits are reloaded onto an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card in Florida is based on the last digit of the recipient’s case number.
Reload Schedule Based on Case Numbers:
- 0 Ending: Benefits are loaded on the 1st of the month.
- 1 Ending: Benefits are loaded on the 2nd of the month.
- 2 Ending: Benefits are loaded on the 3rd of the month. … and the pattern continues until:
- 9 Ending: Benefits are loaded on the 10th of the month.
Example for Clarity:
If the 9th and 8th digits of your case number (when read backwards) are 05, your benefits would be loaded on the 5th of the month.
Potential Changes and Exceptions:
It’s crucial to be aware that the above schedule might undergo changes. There could be exceptions or modifications due to specific circumstances or policy shifts.
Staying Updated:
For the most recent and accurate information, beneficiaries are advised to consult the Florida DCF directly or visit their official website.
Understanding the reload schedule is vital for beneficiaries to plan their monthly food purchases effectively and ensure they make the most of the assistance provided.
