The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has announced that SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) beneficiaries would be able to receive food stamps in late November. Actually, two states will transfer money to EBT (Electronic Benefits Transfer) cards on Thanksgiving Day.

Texas and Florida will issue SNAP payouts on Thanksgiving Day. If you qualify for monthly benefit payments on November 28, you will receive them on Thanksgiving. Let’s take a look at the eligibility for November 28 in Florida and Texas.

SNAP payday eligibility in Florida

The State of Florida makes SNAP payments from November 1 to November 28. Paydays are calculated using the ninth and eighth digits of the Florida case number, which are read backward. As you may have anticipated, you must remove the tenth digit.

To get SNAP benefits on November 28, Thanksgiving Day, your case number’s ninth and eighth digits must be between 96 and 99. Food Stamp applicants might receive up to $292 if they are single.

A household of two can get up to $536, or up to $768 if you are three. Families of four members are also common, and they can receive up to $975. The greatest Food Stamp payout will go to households of eight, who can receive up to $1,756 from the USDA.
