Next, you’ll find all what to need to know regarding the December 2023 deposit schedule, ensuring you stay informed and well-prepared during this festive season.
The Missouri Department of Social Services has scheduled the issuance of the SNAP benefits between December 1st and December 22nd. Mark these dates on your calendar to ensure you’re aware of when to expect this much-expected deposit that aids in meeting you and your family’s dietary needs.
SNAP Deposit Dates in Missouri: Do Holidays Delay my Payments?
As we embrace the holiday cheer, it’s crucial to be mindful of how Christmas festivities might influence the deposit schedule. December 24th (Christmas Eve) and December 25th (Christmas Day) are the dates to note. If your regular deposit falls on either of these joyous days, well, don’t worry: benefits could be disbursed just before or after the holiday.
Moreover, weekends in December can also play a role in when you receive your benefits. If your SNAP deposit date coincides with a weekend, anticipate receiving your benefits either on the preceding Friday or the following Monday. This flexibility ensures that you can access the support you need, even during weekends and holidays.
Food Stamps and Weekends in Missouri
A common question arises – do food stamps deposit on weekends in Missouri? The answer is no. SNAP benefits are not typically deposited into EBT accounts during the weekend. If your deposit date falls on a Saturday or Sunday, rest assured that your benefits will likely be available on the preceding Friday or the following Monday.
This principle extends to holidays as well. If your Missouri EBT deposit date aligns with a holiday, the system is designed to adapt. Expect your benefits either slightly before or after the holiday, ensuring a seamless continuation of support during festive times.
