South Carolina To Begin Sending Food Stamp Payments Today

Anyone familiar with the food stamps program knows that states typically stick to a standard schedule each month, with South Carolina SNAP being no exception. However, this doesn’t mean a one-size-fits-all approach, as the program is state run and, hence, each state has its own specific schedule and guidance for when benefits go out.

For those new to the program, South Carolina has two different SNAP schedules. If you started receiving benefits after Sept. 1, 2012, your benefits will be set according to one schedule. If you started receiving SNAP benefits continuously before Sept. 1, 2012, your scheduled payments will follow a separate distribution.

Also, when you file a new SNAP application, benefits are available the day following your case approval.
