SNAP Texas February 2025: The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), commonly known as food stamps, plays a crucial role in helping low-income individuals and families access nutritious food across the United States.
In Texas, SNAP benefits are distributed through an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card, which works like a debit card at authorized grocery stores and retailers. However, these benefits cannot be used for alcohol, tobacco, hot-prepared meals, or non-food items such as household supplies or fuel.
If you’re a Texas SNAP recipient waiting for your February 2025 benefits, here’s everything you need to know about the payment schedule and when to expect your funds.
Texas SNAP Payment Schedule for February 2025
Unlike some states that issue all SNAP payments on the same day, Texas distributes benefits gradually throughout the month based on the last two digits of a recipient’s Eligibility Determination Group (EDG) number.
- Households that enrolled in SNAP before May 1, 2023, will continue receiving benefits according to their original schedule.
- Newer SNAP recipients follow the updated payment schedule based on their EDG number.
Below is the expected payment schedule for February 2025:
SNAP Benefit Deposit Dates
| Last Two Digits of EDG Number | Payment Date |
|---|---|
| 32-34 | February 10 |
| 35-38 | February 11 |
| 39-41 | February 12 |
| 42-45 | February 13 |
| 46-49 | February 14 |
| 50-53 | February 15 |
| 54-57 | February 16 |
If your EDG number falls within these ranges, your SNAP benefits should be available on your EBT card by the assigned date.
Key Reminders for SNAP Recipients
- Check your EBT balance before heading to the store to confirm your funds have been deposited.
- If your benefits are delayed, contact the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) or visit the Your Texas Benefits website for assistance.
- Since payments are not processed on weekends or holidays, minor delays may occur.
- To prevent any disruptions in receiving benefits, keep your contact information updated with the SNAP program.
SNAP benefits continue to serve as a vital safety net for millions of families facing food insecurity. By staying informed about your distribution date, you can better plan your grocery shopping and ensure you have access to essential food items when needed.
