SNAP, formerly known as food stamps, is a program that the South Carolina Department of Social Services (DSS) administers to help low-income households buy food. Through their SNAP account, which is connected to the South Carolina EBT card, SNAP beneficiaries get monthly payments.
SNAP EBT cards function just like debit cards and may be used anyplace that accepts EBT cards, which includes the majority of supermarkets and big-box businesses. In South Carolina, SNAP participants can also buy approved food online from recognized merchants like Walmart and Amazon using their EBT cards.
Most foods can be purchased with benefits, except those that are hot at the time of sale or those that are intended for in-store consumption. This eliminates prepared deli goods and rotisserie chicken as well.
Visit the DSS Benefits Portal in South Carolina to submit an online SNAP application. Contact any DSS county office to apply in person, by mail, or by fax. Select “Am I Eligible” on the DSS Assistance Portal to see whether you could be eligible for SNAP benefits.
Benefits are accessible the day after your case is approved if you submitted a fresh SNAP application. Benefits are distributed for a continuing SNAP case on the same day each month, which is between the 1st and the 19th. The final digit of your case number determines the day you get your SNAP payments.
There are two distinct SNAP schedules in South Carolina. Here is when to anticipate your July deposit if you began receiving benefits after September 1, 2012:
| Case # ends in | Benefits available |
| 1 | 11th of the month |
| 2 | 2nd of the month |
| 3 | 13th of the month |
| 4 | 4th of the month |
| 5 | 15th of the month |
| 6 | 6th of the month |
| 7 | 17th of the month |
| 8 | 8th of the month |
| 9 | 19th of the month |
| 0 | 10th of the month |
Your payments are distributed from the first through the tenth of every month if you began receiving SNAP benefits consistently before September 1, 2012. The July schedule is as follows:
| Case # ends in | Benefits available |
| 1 | 1st of the month |
| 2 | 2nd of the month |
