Florida SNAP Benefits: Which recipients will receive their January 2024 payment this week?

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), originally the Food Stamp Program, is the largest anti-hunger program in the country.

The Office of Economic Self-Sufficiency (ESS) of the Florida Department of Children and Families oversees the administration of SNAP payments, a federal program. ESS is in charge of determining SNAP eligibility in accordance with federal regulations.
