What if that day is a weekend or a holiday?

The chart we used gives a calendar day. It does not say the deposit moves earlier for a weekend or a holiday. We do not invent an early deposit.

How do I check the balance?

Use the phone number or website on the back of your EBT card. This site never asks for the card number, the PIN, or a login.

When will I get my food stamps in Mississippi?

Type only the digit or letter the chart uses. This page never asks for an EBT card number or a PIN. This site does not approve or deny benefits.

Green is your day when we can find it. Pale days are other days this state uses.

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.
