The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as Food Stamps, is an essential support for millions of families in the United States. Although the program operates nationwide, each state, including Texas, has its own rules and timelines for the delivery of these benefits, which can be complicated for recipients.
Attention to Recertification Dates
In Texas, it is vital for beneficiaries to be aware of recertification dates. New applicants will receive an approval letter that specifies the duration of their benefits, a period that can extend from one to three years. During this time, resources are automatically charged to an EBT card each month.
SNAP Recertification Process
As the end of the certification period approaches, beneficiaries will receive a notice to complete recertification. It is critical to complete this process within 10 days of receiving the notice to avoid interruptions in benefits.
Tools to Facilitate Renewal
Beneficiaries can use the Your Texas Benefits portal to manage their renewals and set up alerts to remind them of important deadlines. They can also check the status of their case online to confirm the exact dates they must begin the recertification process.
To ensure that benefits continue without interruption, it is necessary to submit your renewal application by the 15th day of the last month of your certification period. This step is key to continuing to receive ongoing SNAP support.
