The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) payments in Texas will continue through December 28, 2024. If you’re a recipient, knowing your Eligibility Determination Group (EDG) number is crucial to determine your exact payment date.
Payments are distributed according to this number via the Lone Star Card, Texas’ Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) system.
SNAP Payment Dates: December 1–15
For beneficiaries who certified before June 2020, payments will occur as follows:
| EDG Number Ends In | Payment Date |
|---|---|
| 2 | December 5, 2024 |
| 3 | December 6, 2024 |
| 4 | December 7, 2024 |
| 5 | December 9, 2024 |
| 6 | December 11, 2024 |
| 7 | December 12, 2024 |
| 8 | December 13, 2024 |
| 9 | December 15, 2024 |
Pro Tip
Always check your Lone Star Card balance on the designated day to confirm that your funds have been deposited.
