New Jersey SNAP Payment Schedule
When receiving New Jersey SNAP benefits you are given a New Jersey SNAP 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 New Jersey 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 New Jersey food stamp payment dates below.
