292

Michigan’s households in the SNAP are preparing to get crucial January benefits, supporting approximately 1.34 million residents statewide.

Scheduled to disburse between January 3rd and January 21st, these payments, reaching a maximum of $1,751, arrive with a structured timeline designed to ensure an orderly and efficient distribution process.

The disbursement follows a methodical approach based on the last digit of each participant’s SNAP ID number. 

Those with ID numbers ending in 0 to 4 can expect their benefits on odd days, spanning from the 3rd to the 11th of January. Meanwhile, individuals whose ID numbers end in 5 to 9 will receive their payments from the 13th to the 21st.

Crucially, participants who recently qualified for SNAP benefits after October 21 will not encounter any delay in receiving their January payments, bypassing the necessity to wait until February for assistance.
