PrintTAFDC benefits are deposited twice a month directly to your bank account or electronic benefits transfer (EBT) account. See How will you get your grant–direct deposit or electronic benefits transfer? 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. § 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 in the following month.

Advocacy Remindesr:
- The day of the first deposit in the month is the start of the cyclical month. DTA uses the cyclical month (not 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.
