If you’re a Florida resident relying on SNAP (food stamp) benefits, your July payment could be landing on your EBT card this week. But not everyone gets their money on the same day. If you’re wondering whether it’s your turn, there’s one simple way to find out: check the 8th and 9th digits of your case number (read backwards). That small detail determines whether you’ll see funds hitting your card between July 8 and July 14—the second week of the month.
Here’s what you need to know.
Florida distributes SNAP benefits gradually throughout the month, not all at once. While some states deposit all payments on the first day of the month, Florida spreads payments across 28 days, to better manage demand on the system. That means your payment date depends on your unique case number—not your birthday or application date.
So, who exactly is getting their SNAP money during the second week of July 2025?
Florida SNAP Payment Schedule: July 8–14, 2025
If the 9th and 8th digits of your Florida DCF case number (when read backward) fall within the following ranges, you’ll receive your benefits this week:
-
July 8 – Case numbers ending in 25–27
-
July 9 – Case numbers ending in 28–31
-
July 10 – Case numbers ending in 32–34
-
July 11 – Case numbers ending in 35–38
-
July 12 – Case numbers ending in 39–41
-
July 13 – Case numbers ending in 42–45
-
July 14 – Case numbers ending in 46–48
Your benefits are usually deposited at midnight, so your EBT card should be loaded by the morning of your assigned day. However, it’s a good idea to check your balance via the MyACCESS Florida portal or EBT customer service line to confirm the deposit.
How to Know If You’re On the List
Florida uses a very specific method to determine when your benefits arrive. Unlike systems based on last names or application dates, Florida looks at your case number, specifically the 8th and 9th digits (from the right). For example, if your case number is 1234567890, the digits you need to look at are 8 and 9, which are 8 and 9 in this case. That would determine your payment day on the chart.
Why Can’t You Look Up Names?
Some people ask why there’s no public list of names. That’s because SNAP payments are protected under strict privacy laws. Government agencies are not allowed to release the identities of recipients, so lists are based only on numerical identifiers like case numbers. This helps protect the dignity and confidentiality of those receiving benefits.
What If You Don’t Get Paid on Time?
If your EBT card isn’t showing a deposit the day after your scheduled date, don’t panic. Sometimes there can be processing delays, especially around weekends or holidays. Wait until the following morning, then contact Florida DCF if your benefits still haven’t arrived. You can also check the MyACCESS Florida portal to track your status or file a complaint.
Final Thoughts
Florida’s SNAP distribution system can be confusing at first, but once you know how to read your case number, it becomes much easier to predict when your benefits will arrive. If your digits fall into the July 8–14 window, you’re in luck this week—make sure you’re ready to shop as soon as your EBT card is reloaded.
