EBT benefits in Virginia are reloaded monthly between the 1st and the 7th, with the exact date for each recipient determined by the last digit of their individual case number.
Understanding Your Virginia EBT Deposit Schedule
Unlike systems with a single, universal payment date, the reload schedule for EBT benefits (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program - SNAP) in Virginia is staggered. This means that benefits are not deposited for all recipients on the same day.
- Monthly Schedule: Benefits are deposited once a month.
- Deposit Window: The deposits occur over a specific period, spanning from the 1st to the 7th of every month.
- Personalized Date: Your specific deposit date within this 1st-7th window is directly linked to the last digit of your case number. This method ensures that the distribution of benefits is spread out, preventing an overwhelming volume of transactions on a single day.
To confirm your precise EBT reload date, recipients should refer to their official Virginia Department of Social Services (VDSS) benefit issuance schedule or their initial approval letter, as these resources will provide the specific mapping between the last digit of your case number and your exact deposit date.
