How it works
Alabama DHR's published EBT issuance schedule says ongoing monthly SNAP benefits are issued across a 20-day span each month, starting on the 4th and ending on the 23rd, according to the last two digits of the case number. The schedule's note says it took effect beginning September 2013. Your case number is on the notices Alabama DHR sends you.
Worked example
A case number ends in 37. 37 falls in the 35–39 block, which loads on the 11th. A case ending in 00 loads on the 4th, and one ending in 99 on the 23rd. The lookup above applies the same blocks.
Special cases the schedule lists
- Monthly benefits: available on the same calendar date each month.
- Daily issuance: benefits for the past month or the current month that are entered in the system become available the next day.
- Drug and alcohol treatment centers: residents get special issuance. Half of the regular monthly allotment is available on the 4th and the other half on the 16th.
What the schedule does not say
The schedule does not say what happens when your date lands on a weekend or holiday, so confirm that with DHR or the number on your EBT card if a deposit looks late. It also covers only ongoing SNAP, not one-time or supplemental issuances.
