Welfare payments are generally made on a monthly basis, during the first week of every month. It could be different depending on the state and what benefits you are applying for.
Remember that the application process is not instant. It can take several days to more than a month until assistance is received. Foods stamps, for instance, take a relatively brief 7 days, however other programs, such as child care assistance require 30 days between filing and the actual receiving of benefits. Other programs can take even longer so apply as soon as possible!
