SNAP Texas Payment: In Texas, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) offers essential food support to low-income individuals and families. With November approaching, it’s crucial for recipients to know when to expect their monthly SNAP benefits. These payments are loaded onto each recipient’s Lone Star Card, acting like a debit card to purchase approved food items from participating retailers.

Administered by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, SNAP benefits are distributed based on each recipient’s Eligibility Determination Group (EDG) number. The final two digits of this number dictate the exact date of benefit distribution, ensuring all recipients receive payments between November 1 and November 28.
