Utah will begin issuing its second round of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program payments for the month of July in six days.
The Beehive State is the only state that delivers SNAP benefits on three dates throughout the month. Recipients usually see their food stamps reloaded on the same day each month, and the arrival date depends on a recipient’s Social Security number, last name, case number, or account number.

SNAP benefit recipients across all 50 states and the District of Columbia will see the amount transferred to a prepaid electronic benefit transfer card. The EBT card works similarly to a debit card and can be used at grocery stores and farmers markets or at some online retailers.
The number of recipients across all states and the payment amounts will vary. Typically, states with bigger populations or states with higher poverty rates see a larger amount of SNAP recipients.
