When receiving Colorado SNAP benefits you are given a Colorado Quest Card. Each month your EBT card is refilled through the Electronic Benefits Transfer system with the amount you were approved for when you applied for Colorado food stamps. It is important to know when your card gets refilled each month, so that you can better plan your food stamp purchases at stores that are authorized SNAP retailers. To find out when you will receive your next SNAP payment, look at the Colorado food stamp payment dates below.
Benefits are made available from the 1st to the 10th of every month, based on the last digit of the recipient's Social Security Number.
