Millions of Americans receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits may be eligible for double payments on Wednesday, May 28, 2025.
This applies particularly to residents of Texas and Florida, where SNAP disbursements are scheduled alongside SSDI payments.
SSDI Payment Schedule for May 2025
The Social Security Administration (SSA) issues SSDI payments based on beneficiaries’ birth dates:
| Birth Date Range | Payment Date |
|---|---|
| 1st–10th | Wednesday, May 14 |
| 11th–20th | Wednesday, May 21 |
| 21st–31st | Wednesday, May 28 |
To receive the May 28 SSDI payment, you must:
- Have a birthday between the 21st and 31st of any month.
- Have started receiving SSDI benefits after April 30, 1997.
Beneficiaries who began receiving benefits before May 1997 typically receive payments on the 3rd of each month, regardless of birth date.
SNAP Payment Schedule: Texas and Florida
SNAP benefits are distributed based on specific identifiers in each state:
Texas
In Texas, SNAP payments are issued based on the Eligibility Determination Group (EDG) number:
| EDG Number Ending | Payment Date |
|---|---|
| 42–45 | Wednesday, May 28 |
| 50–53 | Wednesday, May 28 |
| 96–99 | Wednesday, May 28 |
If your EDG number ends in any of the above ranges and you meet the SSDI criteria, you will receive both payments on May 28.
Florida
In Florida, SNAP benefits are distributed based on the 8th and 9th digits of your case number:
| Case Number Digits | Payment Date |
|---|---|
| 96 | Wednesday, May 28 |
| 97 | Wednesday, May 28 |
| 98 | Wednesday, May 28 |
| 99 | Wednesday, May 28 |
If your case number matches any of these combinations and you qualify for the May 28 SSDI payment, you will receive both benefits on the same day.

FAQs
What if I receive both SSI and SSDI?
If you receive both Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and SSDI, your SSDI payment will follow the standard schedule based on your birth date. SSI payments are typically issued on the 1st of each month, or the preceding Friday if the 1st falls on a weekend.
How can I check my EDG or case number?
Your EDG number (Texas) or case number (Florida) can be found on official correspondence from your state’s SNAP agency or by logging into your online benefits portal.
What should I do if I don’t receive my payment on May 28?
If you don’t receive your expected payment, wait three additional mailing days before contacting the SSA or your state’s SNAP office. Delays can occur due to processing times or holidays.
