SNAP Texas Payments for November – When Will You Receive Your Food Stamps Next Month?

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provides essential monthly food assistance to low-income individuals and families across Texas, reaching millions who rely on this aid to meet their nutritional needs.

Administered by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (THHSC), SNAP benefits are distributed through the Lone Star Card, a system that operates much like a debit card, allowing recipients to purchase approved food items from authorized retailers.

Recipients can use their Lone Star Card to buy nutritious foods such as vegetables, proteins, and fruits, promoting balanced diets. However, SNAP strictly prohibits the purchase of hot foods, tobacco, alcohol, supplements, or any non-food items like bills or groceries that aren’t intended for home preparation and consumption. The program’s primary goal is to enhance food security and alleviate poverty, supporting both the well-being of recipients and economic stability in Texas as benefits flow back into local communities.

Payment Dates

SNAP benefits in Texas are distributed based on each recipient’s Eligible Determination Group (EDG) number, specifically the final two digits, which determine the exact payment date each month. November payments will be issued between November 1 and November 28, depending on the EDG schedule below.

To check your specific payment date, simply refer to the last two digits of your EDG number and find the corresponding date on this list. For added convenience, you can also check your benefit balance and recent transaction history through the THHSC portal or the Lone Star Card customer service.

By staying informed on your SNAP payment schedule, you can better plan for grocery shopping and ensure you have access to essential foods each month.
