Balance and card help

  • EBT card help: Independence CardBalance, lost or stolen card, PIN800-997-2222

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.

If the money is not there

Check the date first

Deposits follow your date each month, not the first of the month for everyone.

Check for a notice

A missed renewal or interview can stop benefits. Read every letter from Maryland's SNAP agency.

Think it was stolen?

Call the EBT number, change your PIN and ask for a new card. What to do.

Common questions

What day is SNAP deposited in Maryland?

Benefits are made available from the 4th to the 23rd of the month, based on the first three letters of the client’s last name. See the table above.

Do I need to give my case number to see my date?

No. Never type your case number, card number or PIN on a website that is not your state's. Compare your number with the table yourself.
