PIERRE, S.D. (Dakota News Now) - The South Dakota Department of Social Services announced on Monday that it will be issuing the remainder of November SNAP benefits this week.

The DSS says that benefits will be loaded overnight and are expected to be available on Tuesday to the approximately 37,000 SNAP-eligible households in South Dakota.

About $8 million in partial benefits were issued last week, and the two payments issued will equal the full November benefit amount for which a household has qualified.

December SNAP benefits are expected to be issued on schedule on December 10.

SNAP recipients can check their balances through the SNAP app or portal, and updates will be posted on DSS’s website at dss.sd.gov and shared through its social media channels.
