Millions of households have already seen their June benefits, but some Floridians and Texans still have a week to go. Here’s who should mark the calendar — and why a mid‑week Social Security deposit and a fresh $2,000 child tax credit could stretch family budgets even further.
The clock is ticking. Eligible Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients in Florida and Texas who have not yet received their June food benefits have until next Saturday, June 28, to see up to $1,756 loaded onto their EBT cards. At the same time, retirees in the third Social Security payment group are set to pocket $2,002 on Wednesday, June 26, while families may snag a $2,000 tax break if a child or dependent still meets IRS rules.
How Florida’s backward case‑number rule decides your remaining June SNAP day
Florida assigns paydays by reading the 9th and 8th digits of your 10‑digit case number in reverse — then ignoring the 10th digit altogether. Confusing? You’re not alone. If your digits ran from 00 to 71, your benefit has already posted. Everyone else falls into the June 21‑28 window shown below:
| Case number (9th & 8th) | Deposit date |
|---|---|
| 72–74 | Fri, Jun 21 |
| 75–78 | Sat, Jun 22 |
| 79–81 | Sun, Jun 23 |
| 82–85 | Mon, Jun 24 |
| 86–88 | Tue, Jun 25 |
| 89–92 | Wed, Jun 26 |
| 93–95 | Thu, Jun 27 |
| 96–99 | Fri, Jun 28 |
Missed your day? Don’t worry — unused SNAP dollars roll over for 12 months, so nothing disappears.
Texas EDG digits set the final SNAP payments between June 21 and 28
Everything’s bigger in Texas, including the payment grid. The Lone Star State looks at the last two digits of your Eligibility Determination Group (EDG) number. Benefits certified after June 1, 2020, load between the 16th and 28th each month. Here are the dates still on deck:
- June 21: EDG 18‑20, 72‑74
- June 22: EDG 21‑24, 75‑78
- June 23: EDG 25‑27, 79‑81
- June 24: EDG 28‑31, 82‑85
- June 25: EDG 32‑34, 86‑88
- June 26: EDG 35‑38, 89‑92
- June 27: EDG 39‑41, 46‑49, 93‑95
- June 28: EDG 42‑45, 50‑53, 96‑99
Wondering how much you’ll get? A household of four maxes out at $1,755 — just one dollar shy of this month’s headline figure.
Retired workers whose birthday falls between the 21st and 31st of any month are in Payment Group 3. Their June benefit — averaging $2,002 this year — hits bank accounts on Wednesday, June 26. Direct deposit usually posts overnight; paper checks may lag a day or two. Need the money sooner? Consider switching to electronic delivery through my Social Security.
Check if your child or dependent still unlocks the $2,000 IRS credit
Families filing 2024 returns can still claim the Child Tax Credit (CTC) if their child is under 17, has a valid Social Security number, and lived with them for at least half of last year. Dependents over 17 may qualify for the smaller Credit for Other Dependents. Remember, the refundable portion of the CTC caps at $1,600, so file Form 1040 or 1040‑SR and attach Schedule 8812 to receive the full amount.
Stay alert to the dates above, double‑check your case or EDG digits, and review eligibility for that retirement deposit and tax credit. Acting now could keep up to $3,758 flowing into your household before June turns the page.
