This July, the SNAP food assistance program in Texas will follow its regular payment schedule. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, provides financial assistance to low-income individuals and families to purchase necessary food.
The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) administers the program, and payments to beneficiaries are staggered throughout the month based on their case number.
In Texas, these funds are delivered via the Lone Star card, which functions similarly to a debit card and can be used at authorized grocery stores and retail locations.
When are SNAP benefits paid in July?
SNAP payments in Texas are distributed between the 1st and 28th of each month and are assigned based on the last digit of each household’s Eligible Case Number (EDG).
This means that your exact date is dependent on this number, which can be found on your benefit notification or in your online account at YourTexasBenefits.com.
Who receives SNAP between July 21 and 27?
Payment date and last digit of EDG
- Monday, July 21 | 18
- Tuesday, July 22 | 19
- Wednesday, July 23 | 20
- Thursday, July 24 | 21
- Friday, July 25 | 22
- Saturday, July 26 | 23
- Sunday, July 27 | 24
If your EDG ends in one of these numbers, your deposit will automatically appear on your Lone Star Card on the stipulated day.
Where can I use my Lone Star Card?
The Lone Star Card is accepted at nearly all grocery stores, convenience stores, and farmers markets in Texas. In addition, Walmart, H-E-B, Kroger, and some local chains accept SNAP funds for online purchases. Remember that only authorized food products can be purchased, such as:
Fresh fruits and vegetables
Dairy and bread
Meat, chicken and fish
Canned products
Seeds and plants to grow food
It is not permitted to buy items such as alcoholic beverages, cleaning products, cigarettes or prepared food for immediate consumption (such as hot take-away food).
