Yes, Florida is continuing to operate SNAP and issue EBT benefits in 2026. The program has not been discontinued in Florida or any other state. Florida residents who meet income and eligibility requirements continue to receive monthly SNAP benefits on their Florida EBT cards, which are administered by the Florida Department of Children and Families. Benefits are issued on a staggered schedule based on case numbers during the month. Florida also participates in related EBT programs such as Summer EBT, also known as SUN Bucks, which provides additional food benefits for school-aged children during summer months when school meals are not available. Like other states, Florida must follow federal USDA rules for eligibility and what can be purchased, though Florida has also joined other states in requesting waivers to restrict certain purchases like soda. Any changes to benefit amounts in 2026 would come from federal cost-of-living adjustments or federal legislative changes that apply nationwide, not from Florida ending the program.
