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.

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. New York City skips Sundays and holidays, and the dates change. USDA links a city chart: https://fns-prod.azureedge.us/sites/default/files/media/file/NYC-Issuance%20Schedule.pdf

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.
