Montana’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program will begin its January payments, worth up to $1,751, in five days.
Montana distributes SNAP payments over five days each month. December’s payments were disbursed from Dec. 2 to Dec. 6, and January’s payments will be disbursed from Tuesday to Jan. 6. The date when recipients get their payments depends on their SNAP case number, account number, Social Security number, or last name.

SNAP benefits can be used at participating locations, including farmers markets and grocery stores. The payments are automatically loaded on an electronic benefits transfer card every month.
