When receiving Tennessee SNAP benefits you are given a Tennessee EBT 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 Tennessee 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 Tennessee food stamp payment dates below.
Benefits are made available based on the last two digits of the head of household's Social Security Number.
