What date is food stamps issued on in Philadelphia PA?

Food stamps in philadelphia are issued on various days each month depending on the last digit of your case number and the number of business days starting on the first day of each month.

For example:

If the first calendar day of the month starts on a Monday then case numbers ending in 1 would receive their stamps on the 1st. Numbers ending with 2 would receive them on TUE the 2nd. Numbers ending with 3 on WED the 3rd. Numbers ending with 4 on THUR the 4th. Numbers ending with 5 on FRI the 5th. Because weekend days are not business days. Numbers ending with 6 would receive theirs on MON the 8th. Numbers ending with 7 on TUE the 9th.

However...

If the first calendar day of starts on Friday then case numbers ending with 1 would receive their stamps on the 1st. But case numbers ending with 2 would not receive their stamps until MON the 4th. And so on. But you can always call your local welfare office anytime the automated service should have a recording of all the payment dates for each month. I always call 215 560 5200 and press 1.
