DPHHS Issues Partial SNAP Benefits to Clients Per Most Recent Federal Guidance

Clients can call 1-866-850-1556 or visit mybnft.com to check SNAP EBT balance

The Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS) announced today that it has issued partial November federally-funded Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits to clients. This action follows updated guidance to states from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service (FNS).

DPHHS issued partial SNAP benefits to clients' Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards on Sunday, Nov. 9, following receipt of the updated federal guidance.

Clients are encouraged to check their EBT card balances by calling the dedicated EBT Cardholder Help Desk at 1-866-850-1556 or by visiting mybnft.com. The EBT Cardholder Help Desk or the Bnft website, rather than the Public Assistance Helpline, are the fastest and easiest methods to check card balance.
