Yes, if you get SNAP benefits, also called food stamps, they roll over to the next month if you don't use the whole amount.
If you don't spend all your month's benefits in the same month, you won't lose them and you'll still get the next month's SNAP deposit as scheduled.

How SNAP benefits roll over from month to month#how-snap-benefits-roll-over-from-month-to-month
Let's say you receive $120 in SNAP benefits in March and spend $100 of them, that means you will still have a balance of $20 in April that you can use.
And you'll also get your April deposit, the full total of your leftover March benefits and your new April benefits will be all available on your EBT card. You can check your EBT balance and track your spending with an app like Propel.

While SNAP benefits do roll over month to month, keep in mind that if you don't use your EBT card at all for 9 months, then the benefits will be cleared off the card and you won't be able to access them.

If you let your benefits accumulate, you face greater risk if you become a victim of EBT theft, because you would be losing a larger amount.
Also remember that the SNAP program is there to help you afford groceries, so make sure to make good use of it by spending it on SNAP-eligible items.
If you have a large EBT balance, consider using the Propel app or another safe app to block out-of-state transactions or lock your card when it's not in use (available in some states).
