Residents in four states can expect their September SNAP payment to arrive in just nine days.
Four States to Send Out SNAP Payments to Eligible Households
Get ready, because in just nine days, four states will be distributing payments from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to every eligible household. While most states spread out their food stamp distributions throughout the month, Alaska, North Dakota, Rhode Island, and Vermont have chosen to send out all of their direct SNAP payments on the 1st of the month.
Alaska

The state is divided into three regions: Rural I, Rural II, and Urban. In the Rural I region, households of one can receive up to $293, while households of four can receive up to $979. For those living in the Urban region, the maximum payment for a household of one is $230. In total, approximately 12% of Alaska’s population, or 92,100 people, receive food stamps, with an average payment of $271 per household member per month.
