The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program will make monthly payments to SNAP EBT cards until November 28, 2024. That will be the last day for recipients in just two states to collect their Food Stamps. Keep in mind that each state handles paydays and applications for this food assistance program for low-income households in the US.
Some states will not release additional payments in November since they have completed the delivery of Food Stamps. Actually, four of them sent all of the SNAP money on November 1: Alaska, Vermont, Rhode Island, and North Dakota.
