When will I get my food stamps in New Jersey?
Simple answer
In New Jersey, food stamps (SNAP) usually arrive on the 1st through the 5th.
The USDA chart title says the 7th digit, and the rows say the case number ends in these digits. On a 7-digit case number those are the same digit. Warren County pays every case on the 1st.

Green is your day when we can find it. Pale days are other days this state uses.
Weekends and holidays
This chart uses the calendar day it prints. It does not say food stamps (SNAP) come a day early when that day is a weekend or a holiday. We will not make up an early-deposit rule.
How to check the balance
- 1. Turn the EBT card over. Use the phone number and the website printed there. That is the official state line.
- 2. Call it, or open the state app or site named on the card. You will need the card. Never type the PIN on this website.
- 3. Some private apps also show a balance. They are not the state. Do not type a PIN into a private app.
