SNAP April 2025 payments: Reload dates this week

Millions of Americans rely on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) each month—but EBT payment dates vary by state. Here’s when April 2025 SNAP benefits will be deposited this week and how to check your exact reload date.

When does SNAP reload in April 2025?

SNAP benefits are typically deposited once per month based on your state’s schedule. In most states, distribution is staggered by the recipient’s case number, Social Security number, or last name.

For the week of April 21 to April 27, here are a few key state payment timelines:

New York: April 1–9 for NYC; April 1–14 for the rest of the state
California: April 1–10 based on the last digit of the case number
Texas: April 1–28, also based on case number
Florida: April 1–28 by case number and other factors
Pennsylvania: April 3–14 depending on county and last digit of case number

If your state uses a wide payment window, your benefits may still be processing—even if others in your area already received theirs.

How to check your SNAP deposit date

You can find your exact payment date using one of these methods:

Check your state EBT portal or app (e.g., ConnectEBT, MyBenefits, YourTexasBenefits)
Call the number on the back of your EBT card
Log into your online benefits account
Use the USDA’s state directory to find contact info for your local SNAP office

Be sure to have your EBT card or case number on hand when calling or logging in.

What to do if your EBT deposit is delayed

SNAP payments are rarely delayed, but processing issues can occur. If your benefits haven’t arrived on the expected date:

Double-check your eligibility and recertification status
Contact your local SNAP office or state agency
Review transaction history through your EBT app or card provider

In many cases, delays are caused by incomplete paperwork or a missed recertification.

SNAP benefits can be used online

If your EBT benefits are available, you can now use them for online grocery purchases at major retailers including:

Amazon
Walmart
ALDI
Safeway
Instacart (select locations)

Delivery fees and non-eligible items must still be paid with a different form of payment.

Key takeaway

SNAP benefits for April 2025 are being distributed this week, and exact deposit dates vary by state. Check your state’s EBT system or SNAP account to find out when your funds will arrive.
