Be Mindful, These Are Tentative SNAP Deposit Dates For Iowa
It cannot be emphasized enough the Iowa EBT deposit dates for 2023 are tentative and may shift due to variables such as weekends or holidays. For the last 3 years, states have been issuing extra food stamp benefits. Unfortunately, despite their best efforts to deposit food stamp funds quickly and efficiently into EBT accounts, occasional delays still occurred.
How Holidays And Weekends Impact The EBT Schedule
If your EBT benefits are scheduled to arrive on a weekend or holiday, there is no need to worry. Your deposit could occur the day before the weekend begins or even the following Monday. The same goes for any EBT deposit dates falling on a holiday.
