Checking Your SNAP Balance


To see if your February SNAP benefits have been deposited:
 
  • Check through your state's EBT card mobile app, if they offer one.
  • Alternatively, many stores can inform you of your balance at the checkout.

As these are the final days for February's SNAP benefits to be issued, staying informed and vigilant about your SNAP schedule and EBT card balance can help you plan your end-of-month shopping effectively.
