New York SNAP Payment Schedule
When receiving New York SNAP benefits you are given a New York Common Benefit Identification 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 York 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 York food stamp payment dates below.

|---|---|

| 2 | 2nd of the month |
| 3 | 3rd of the month |

| For NYC cases, benefit postings are spread out over 10 different days that are not Sundays or holidays, during the first two weeks of each month. The actual dates change from one month to the next, so NYC publishes a six-month schedule showing the exact availability dates. | |
