Administered at the federal level by the <strong>U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)<\/strong> but distributed by <strong>state governments<\/strong>, the program provides monthly benefits through an <strong>EBT card<\/strong> that can be used at <strong>authorized grocery stores, supermarkets, and some online retailers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each state determines its <strong>own payment schedule<\/strong>, meaning <strong>not all SNAP recipients receive their benefits on the same day<\/strong>.
