Millions of retirees and disability beneficiaries will receive their money earlier than expected this week, and Florida SNAP users will get new funds right after. Here’s what you need to know in less than five minutes.
The Social Security Administration (SSA) has confirmed that a special payment of retirement, survivor, and disability benefits will be made today, Wednesday, June 12. Beneficiaries whose birthdays fall between the 11th and 20th of any month will be eligible. This week, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) begins its second cycle of deposits in the Sunshine State, ensuring food purchases for more than three million households.

Step‑by‑step guide to check your SNAP Florida deposit date this month
Wondering when your EBT card will reload? Florida staggers food‑stamp payments to ease checkout lines. Deposits are triggered by the eighth and ninth digits of your case number:
- June 8 – case numbers ending 25‑27
- June 9 – 28‑31
- June 10 – 32‑34
- June 11 – 35‑38
- June 12 – 39‑41
- June 13 – 42‑45
- June 14 – 46‑48
Payments drop just after midnight, no paperwork required. Recipients of the SUNCAP program tied to SSI were already funded June 1‑3.

Tips to make the most of your benefits and avoid common mistakes
First, set up bank or EBT text alerts so you know the moment funds land—no more guessing. Next, draft a two‑week meal plan before shopping; impulse buys are SNAP’s silent budget‑buster. Finally, anyone newly eligible should file SSA or SNAP paperwork online to lock in July payments; in‑person backlogs are growing fast, so why wait?
