Key Payment Dates for Social Security and SNAP Benefits in June 2025

Many Americans depend on programs like Social Security and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to help cover essential costs, from food to household expenses.

If you’re wondering whether it’s possible to receive both Social Security and SNAP benefits at the same time, the good news is that it is!

Although these programs operate independently, they can be combined to provide additional financial support.

 

What Are Social Security and SNAP?

Social Security is a program that provides monthly payments to retirees, people with disabilities, and others who qualify based on specific criteria.

SNAP, on the other hand, helps individuals and families buy groceries, with eligibility primarily determined by income levels and financial needs.

When you apply for SNAP, your income (including Social Security payments) is taken into account. However, receiving Social Security benefits does not automatically disqualify you from receiving SNAP.

If your total income after essential expenses, such as rent and medical bills, falls within the limits set by SNAP, you can qualify for food assistance.

Knowing when you'll receive your benefits each month can also help you better plan your finances, especially during times when expenses may increase.
