Thousands of Americans getting SNAP benefits will receive their payments on Election Day. Of course, clearance from the United States Department of Agriculture is required before receiving any of this money. Keep in mind that from October 1, 2024, all Food Stamps will include the 2025 COLA rise.
In some states, SNAP benefits are no longer available because all monthly payments are made on the same payday. On November 1, all Food Stamps were delivered to EBT (Electronic Benefits Transfer) cards in Alaska, Vermont, Rhode Island, North Dakota, and the United States Virgin Islands.
