SNAP payment schedule

New York SNAP payment schedule

Outside New York City, SNAP benefits are staggered over the first nine days of the month by the last digit of the case number: 0 or 1 on the 1st, 2 on the 2nd, and so on through 9 on the 9th. In New York City the day changes every month: each 'toe digit' (last digit of the case number) gets a date from OTDA's six-month EBT-52 schedule, and SNAP uses the 'A' cycle (the first ~two weeks of the month). Official NYC dates for July-December 2026 are in nycOfficialDates; the January-June 2027 schedule had not been published as of 2026-10-07.
