United States citizens who have a SNAP Food Stamps benefit may get a new check this week. Since each state sends out payments independently, it could be the case that sometimes we don’t quite know if we’ll get it in one week or the next.

But in the case of some of those states, SNAP Food Stamps arrive this week beginning February 19. So if you live in one of those states you could have the payment available within a very short time.
The important thing in these cases is to make sure that our state sends the SNAP Food Stamps payment soon and that we also have the benefit accepted. If the check is in the process of being accepted we will not be able to get the money any time soon.
States mailing SNAP Food Stamps this week
The list of states that could send SNAP Food Stamps the week of February 19 is quite large. This is due to something very simple, which is that some states have a fairly large payment schedule.

When that happens, by the third week of the month they could have sent out all the checks, but it could also be the opposite. So we have to pay close attention to our ebt card. Checking the balance on it is the best way to know if we already have SNAP Food Stamps money available or we will have to wait a little bit longer.
