If you’re on SNAP in Florida (that’s food stamps to help buy groceries), you get money loaded on your EBT card every month. In Florida, it’s called the ACCESS card. The Florida SNAP February 2026 EBT Payment Schedule tells you exactly when your benefits drop.
This is the latest info for February 2026. Your money gets added based on your case number, and it happens over the first 28 days of the month. snapusda.com has all the state schedules to help you stay on top of it.
How Do SNAP Payments Work in Florida?
The Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) runs the whole SNAP thing here. They check if you qualify, figure out how much you get, and load the money.
Your ACCESS Florida card is basically like a debit card, but just for food. You can use it at tons of stores, even outside Florida.
Every month, DCF automatically puts your benefits on the card on your specific day. How much you get depends on your family size, what you earn, and stuff like bills.
