SNAP Payment Calendar for March 2025: Full State-by-State Breakdown

With March underway, millions of Americans who rely on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) are set to receive their monthly food assistance benefits.

Payment dates vary by state, with deposits scheduled between March 1 and March 28, 2025.
 

How SNAP Payments Are Distributed?

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) manages the SNAP program, but each state sets its own distribution schedule.

Some states release payments all at once, while others stagger deposits throughout the month.
 

Who Qualifies for the Maximum $586 Payment?

Not all SNAP recipients receive the same amount. The size of your payment depends on:

• Household income

• Number of people in your household

• State of residence

For example, the highest SNAP payment of $586 is available to eligible residents of Rural 2 areas in Alaska due to higher food costs in remote locations.

Meanwhile, the maximum monthly SNAP payment for a single-person household in the 48 contiguous states is $292.
