How reliable is this date?
Wisconsin's rule above is the one in the USDA Food and Nutrition Service state-by-state issuance schedule (text last revised November 4, 2021). We did not find the schedule on the state's own site, so confirm it with your approval notice or the EBT customer service line. The first month after approval is often paid on another day; the schedule applies from the month after.
