Florida SNAP Payments for February 2025: The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), also called Food Stamps, helps over 42 million low-income people in the United States afford food. Florida residents who qualify receive this benefit every month.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) manages SNAP through the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), but each state handles its own distribution. In Florida, the Department of Children and Families (DCF) is responsible for making sure eligible individuals get their benefits.
Recipients get their benefits on an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card, which works like a debit card. The funds load onto the card each month, and people can use them to buy nutritious foods, such as vegetables, fruits, grains, and proteins.
