Bridge Card recipient payment Dates Changing again.........

Bridge Card / Michigan EBT Card Community

For those receiving food stamp benefits in Michigan, the new year brings about more changes other than just your new years resolutions. Originally everyone received benefits from the first of the month until the ninth, Then a change from the third to the tenth. And now changes monthly until the end of the year 2011. The day of the month paid will now be based on your recipient I.D. Number and at the end of the year benefit payment dates will now range from the third to the twenty first of each month.

Be sure to use you recipient I.D number and not your case number or there will be confusion at the checkout.

Proponents (large grocers) say it will help to maintain fresh fruit and vegetables throughout the month as opposed to large purchases made at the first of each month and staffing and inventory overages for the end of the month.
