Every state offers three ways to check your EBT card balance: calling the toll-free customer service number on the back of your card, logging into your state's EBT website, or using your state's official EBT mobile app. Your balance is also printed on the receipt from your last purchase.
If your balance is lower than expected, check your last purchase receipt against your bank or benefits statement, and report any transaction you don't recognize to your state's EBT customer service line right away — see the lost or stolen card page for how skimming and fraud reports work.
