Card help in Illinois
- EBT card help: Illinois Link CardBalance, lost or stolen card, PINn/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.
Sources: USDA SNAP Retailer Locator data (layer updated October 21, 2026); USDA SNAP State Directory of Resources (state entry updated February 17, 2026).
Independent guide. Not a government website. Not affiliated with USDA or any state agency. We do not take applications, and we never ask for your case number, card number or PIN. Amounts and rules can change: your state SNAP agency has the final word.
