Connecticut SNAP deposit day by Client ID.
The schedule Connecticut DSS began using March 1, 2026, with a lookup for your day.
Beginning March 1, 2026, Connecticut issues SNAP benefits over the first 8 days of the month, based on the last two digits of your Client ID: 00–12 on the 1st, 13–24 on the 2nd, 25–37 on the 3rd, 38–49 on the 4th, 50–62 on the 5th, 63–74 on the 6th, 75–87 on the 7th and 88–99 on the 8th. Cash benefits are issued on the 1st only.

How it works
Connecticut DSS says SNAP and cash benefits are added to your EBT card on the same day every month. Its page states that beginning March 1, 2026, cash benefits are issued on the 1st of the month only, and SNAP benefits are issued over the first 8 days of the month according to the last two digits of the Client ID. Before that change the two programs followed the same day, so a date you remember from 2025 may no longer apply.
Worked example
A Client ID ends in 68. 68 falls in the 63–74 range, which loads on the 6th. A Client ID ending in 12 loads on the 1st and one ending in 13 on the 2nd, so check the boundaries carefully. The lookup above uses the same ranges.
Use it or lose it
DSS states that if you do not use your SNAP benefits on your EBT card for 274 days (9 months), it will take them back. Some cash benefits can be taken back after as few as 270 days, and others are not removed until up to 365 days. Using the card at least once every 9 months keeps the benefits.
What the page does not say
The DSS page does not say what happens when your day falls on a weekend or holiday. DSS's Benefits Center is listed as 1-855-626-6632 on that page; use it if a deposit is missing.
