Where'd the Moolah Go? Mystery Solved!
Ever wonder if that bag of gummy sharks made a bigger dent in your benefits than you thought? Well, wonder no more! Here are the top ways to crack the code on your Snap account:
- The EBT Cardholder Portal: Think of it as your online vault –– log in (or create an account if you haven't already) to see your current balance in all its glorious detail.
- Phone a Friend (or Rather, EBT Customer Service): Dial 1-888-356-3281 and follow the prompts. Just remember, your sixteen-digit EBT card number is your key to unlocking this info, so keep it handy.
- The Receipt Whisperer: Remember that little piece of paper you get after swiping your card? Yeah, that one! It usually has your remaining balance like a grocery store fortune cookie.
- ATM or POS Machine: Feeling like a fancy bank teller? Check your balance at most ATMs or POS terminals that accept EBT cards. Just remember, you might not be able to withdraw cash, but hey, knowledge is power (and can help you avoid that awkward "insufficient funds" situation at checkout).
Important Side Note: Benefits are deposited throughout the month based on your case number. Don't fret if you don't see them right on the first, patience is a virtue (especially when it comes to delicious groceries).
