Weekends and holidays
This chart uses the calendar day it prints. It does not say food stamps (SNAP) come a day early when that day is a weekend or a holiday. We will not make up an early-deposit rule.
How to check the balance
- 1. Turn the EBT card over. Use the phone number and the website printed there. That is the official state line.
- 2. Call it, or open the state app or site named on the card. You will need the card. Never type the PIN on this website.
- 3. Some private apps also show a balance. They are not the state. Do not type a PIN into a private app.
