- Food Assistance Program help lineApplications, interviews, case questionsn/d — call 2-1-1
We publish a phone number only when two independent sources agree: the USDA state directory and the state agency's own website. "n/d" means we could not confirm it, so call 2-1-1 or use the number on the back of your card.
When benefits arrive
We could not confirm Florida's current deposit days against the state's own page, so we do not show a table. Your approval notice and the EBT line have your date.
