Dear Neighbor,
Beginning this Sunday, March 1st, important changes to Connecticut law will take effect regarding how the state will issue SNAP benefits.
Under the new legislation, Connecticut will begin staggering the distribution of SNAP benefits rather than loading them primarily the first few days. Cash benefits will be issued on the first day of the month, and SNAP benefits will be issued over the first 8 days of the month. The date your benefits will be issued is determined by the last 2 digits on your EBT card. Use the graphic below to plan when your benefits will be issued based on your Client ID.
This change is designed to:
- reduce congestion at grocery stores and retailers
- improve access to food
- create a smoother, more dignified experience for SNAP recipients
