The last week of any given month for anyone on SSI, SSDI, WIC, and/or food stamps is always rough. The amount paid helps a lot, but it's usually not enough for the whole month. We're used to tightening our belts. Please, give us poor and vulnerable first grocery dibs if you can.

I've been informed that the day that food stamps refill can vary depending on your state -- just to be safe, you might want to check. Even better, ask someone you know who is or has been down on their luck. Check in with them. Make sure they've got supplies, aye?

Holy crow this blew up. Um. |D; Okay, so. I've since learned that benefits are often staggered in distribution -- I was writing this last night from personal experience and in a bit of a panic. Still, check in with your poorer friends and relatives, aye?

And leave some supplies for others in your community. I'll be muting notifications on this but I'll check in occasionally. In the meantime, um -- I stream occasionally, and make soap and hand cream, so here's my obligatory self-promo tweet.https://www.twitch.tv/liataiofthewood

This... isn't true? I've been on SNAP in MA and PA and on both of them they intentionally stagger the refill dates across accounts to prevent there being a rush of everyone getting their SNAP refill on the same day like this. Maybe some states do it on the 1st but none I know

Well, they seem to have a smart idea of it then. NY and VT, as far as I know, both do it on the 1st, or in two payments where one is on the first and the other is halfway through the month. ^^;

For anyone who is interested, here is a PDF explaining when SNAP benefits are released, State-by-State. I'm in VA, they do it based on SSN. Some states release benefits by case #. Take a look :) https://fns-prod.azureedge.net/sites/default/files/snap/Monthly-Issuance-Schedule-All-States.pdf …

Thanks for making it really easy to check. WA State spreads it over first 10 days. I will be mindful.

Thanks for this info. I didn't realize that. We're all stocked up now so that won't be an issue.
