Worried about your next SNAP payment in Texas? Whether you’re buying groceries for your children, supporting aging parents, or just trying to make ends meet—knowing your exact SNAP deposit date for August 2025 can offer real peace of mind. Here’s your complete guide, in plain English.
What Is SNAP in Texas?
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)—formerly known as food stamps—helps low-income families and individuals afford groceries. In Texas, SNAP is distributed through the Lone Star Card, and managed by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC).
Texas SNAP August 2025 Payment Dates
Unlike some states that issue benefits all on one day, Texas SNAP payments are released in batches, based on your Eligibility Determination Group (EDG) number.
If your case was approved before June 1, 2020, you’ll receive your August payment based on the last digit of your EDG number:
| EDG Last Digit | Deposit Date (August 2025) |
|---|---|
| 0 | August 1 |
| 1 | August 3 |
| 2 | August 5 |
| 3 | August 6 |
| 4 | August 7 |
| 5 | August 9 |
| 6 | August 11 |
| 7 | August 12 |
| 8 | August 13 |
| 9 | August 15 |
If your case was certified after June 1, 2020, your benefits are paid based on the last two digits of your EDG number:
| EDG Last 2 Digits | Deposit Date (August 2025) |
|---|---|
| 00–03, 54–57 | August 16 |
| 04–06, 58–60 | August 17 |
| 07–10, 61–64 | August 18 |
| 11–13, 65–67 | August 19 |
| 14–17, 68–71 | August 20 |
