Race Day Live (Tallahassee, FL) – The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as Food Stamps, continues to provide crucial help to over 42 million low-income residents across the United States.
In Florida, as in every other state in the country, eligible citizens receive this benefit once a month for the share of the population that lives in the United States.
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) administers SNAP payments through the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), while each state is responsible for distributing these benefits through its own agencies.
In Florida, the program is overseen by the Department of Children and Families (DCF), which ensures that eligible residents get SNAP for the whole year.
Eligible persons are given an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card, which acts similarly to a debit or credit card.
Each month, funds from SNAP benefits are loaded onto the EBT card, and the amount delivered can be used to purchase a variety of nutritious foods, including proteins, cereals, fruits, and vegetables, assisting low-income families in maintaining a balanced diet and avoiding health problems caused by poor nutrition.

However, there are some restrictions, such as not being able to use the benefits to purchase hot or cooked foods, alcohol, tobacco, or non-food items like gasoline and household supplies.
Violations of these criteria may result in consequences, including the suspension of benefits.
These are the beneficiaries who will be receiving their respective deposits throughout February.

Who will receive SNAP benefits in Florida in February?
