If you’re one of the millions of Florida residents relying on SNAP (food stamp) benefits, your July 2025 payment is just around the corner—but do you know exactly when it will land on your EBT card? While some states issue food stamps on just one or two days, Florida spreads payments across nearly four weeks, and your case number determines your payday.
Whether you’re planning a big grocery haul, budgeting for the month, or just trying to avoid running out of essentials, knowing your exact deposit date can make a world of difference. So before you head to the store, check this in-depth schedule.
How Florida Sends Out SNAP Payments
Florida uses a staggered system that deposits benefits from July 1 through July 28. The exact day you receive your SNAP benefits is based on a unique detail in your case file: the 8th and 9th digits of your case number (read from left to right, skipping the 10th digit).
It might sound complicated, but once you find those digits, you’ll know your deposit day every month.
July 2025 Florida SNAP Deposit Schedule
Here’s the full deposit schedule for July 2025, based on those critical digits:
-
00–03: July 1
-
04–06: July 2
-
07–10: July 3
-
11–13: July 4
-
14–17: July 5
-
18–20: July 6
-
21–24: July 7
So, for example, if the 8th and 9th digits of your case number are 59, you’ll get your benefits on July 17.
When Will the Money Actually Arrive?
Deposits usually hit your EBT card shortly after midnight on your scheduled day. Some banks or EBT processors might take a few extra hours to process the funds, so don’t panic if it doesn’t show up first thing.
If it’s still not there by the next day, and you’re sure you checked the right digits, you can contact the Florida DCF customer service at 1-866-762-2237.
Why This Matters for Florida Families
Knowing your SNAP deposit date can help you:
-
Budget smarter and avoid unnecessary financial stress
-
Plan shopping trips when your benefits are guaranteed to be available
-
Prepare for high-demand days at stores (especially early in the month)
By staying ahead of the calendar, you can avoid surprises and keep your family’s food budget on track all month long.
