What if that day is a weekend or a holiday?

Pennsylvania uses business days. This page skips weekends and U.S. federal holidays. The USDA chart does not list state holidays.

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 Pennsylvania?

In Pennsylvania, the day depends on the county and the last digit of a 7-digit case number. The usual window is the first 10 business days. That day comes from the official chart cited on this page. Type only the digit or letter the chart uses. This page never asks for an EBT card number or a PIN.

Simple answer

In Pennsylvania, the day depends on the county and the last digit of a 7-digit case number.

USDA says these are business days and that weekends and holidays are skipped. The chart does not list which holidays. This page skips weekends and U.S. federal holidays. A state holiday could still move the day.

Type your number. See your day.

Type only the digit this state uses. Do not type a full Social Security number, a card number, or a PIN. We do not save the digits, a name, a birth month, or a case number. We can save the state, the county, and that a day was shown.

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

Weekends and holidays

Pennsylvania's chart uses business days. Weekends and U.S. federal holidays are skipped here. The chart does not name the state's own holidays, so a state holiday could still move the day.

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.
