80. When will you get your TAFDC benefits?
TAFDC benefits are deposited twice a month directly to your bank account or electronic benefits transfer (EBT) account. See Question 81. The date of the deposit depends on the last digit of your Social Security number. You get half of the monthly grant at a time. 106 C.M.R. ยง 706.400.
The day of the first deposit in the month is the beginning of your cyclical month. The cyclical month ends the day before the first deposit would be due in the following month.

Advocacy Reminders
- The day of the first deposit in the month is the start of the cyclical month. DTA uses the cyclical month (no the calendar month) to calculate benefits.
- If you are a new applicant, your first deposit may be on a different day
of the month than your regular deposit.
