SNAP January 2026 Payments: States Keep Regular Schedules as Deposit Dates Published

State administrators confirmed predictable EBT deposit timing to help households plan grocery budgets.

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) aids 42 million low-income Americans in purchasing groceries monthly.
As 2026 nears, SNAP recipients will see increased benefits due to a 2.8% cost-of-living adjustment, among other changes.

Overview

  • Officials said January 2026 SNAP disbursements will follow each state’s existing calendar with no changes to the schedule.
  • Outlets published a full state-by-state list, with Alaska, North Dakota, Vermont, Rhode Island, and the U.S. Virgin Islands issuing all benefits on January 1.
  • Utah will distribute benefits on three fixed dates: January 5, January 11, and January 15.
  • Some states allocate by personal details, such as last-name groupings in Connecticut and case-number digits in Alabama.
  • New Hampshire will pay on January 5 and South Dakota on January 10, and recipients are advised to confirm exact timing with their state agency or EBT account.
