Texas EBT Deposit Dates — October 2026

Texas deposits SNAP benefits between the 1st and the 28th of the month — October deposits run from Thursday, October 1, 2026 through Wednesday, October 28, 2026. Texas runs two schedules based on your EDG (Eligibility Determination Group) number: households certified before June 1, 2020 are paid on the 1st–15th by the last digit of the EDG number; households that first applied after June 1, 2020 are paid on the 16th–28th by the last two digits.

October 2026 deposit dates for every Texas household

Your EDG number is on your benefit letters and in the Your Texas Benefits app. If you were certified before June 1, 2020 and have stayed on SNAP since, you keep the early (1st–15th) schedule.

Dates above include weekends — EBT deposits in Texas are electronic and load on the same calendar day even on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays.
