Vermont SNAP deposit schedule

Vermont deposits SNAP benefits on a monthly schedule based on case number, last digit of SSN, or date of application — varies by state. Check your state portal or call 1-800-479-6151 for your exact deposit date.

Common gotcha: Most states deposit between the 1st and 20th of each month. If your deposit date hasn't arrived yet, your balance shows the previous month's remaining amount. Check your monthly deposit date in your state portal.
