Distribution‍ of food stamp‌ benefits in the Sunshine State follows a unique formula based on ‌certain digits in a person’s case ⁢number.

Florida follows a specific ​formula to ‍determine when someone ‌receives their benefits. By taking the ninth digit followed by the eighth digit‍ of a person’s case number, ‌a two-digit number is created. This number identifies the date when someone will receive their benefits.

For example, if a ⁤recipient’s ninth digit is ⁣9 and their​ eighth digit is 8, then the number for this formula would be⁣ 98.

Here’s a breakdown of the distribution schedule:

• Case numbers ⁤with the two-digit number ⁣00-03 will receive ‍benefits on the 1st of the month.
• Case numbers with the two-digit ​numbers 04-06⁢ through 93-95‍ will receive benefits from the 2nd through the 27th of the month.
• Case numbers with the ‍two-digit numbers 96-99 will receive benefits on the 28th of the month.
