How Do You Renew Your EBT Online?
Renew an electronic benefits transfer card or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, account online by visiting the Food and Nutrition Services page of USDA.gov to access the appropriate online SNAP portal for the state in which you live. The site has details about online applications and renewal processes. If the state does not have online services, you need to contact a local SNAP office and fill out a paper renewal form, or follow other procedures.
The SNAP program allows individuals and families with income below a minimum level to receive assistance in purchasing food via a special debit card that functions at participating retailers, such as grocery stores. An applicant receives the card after submitting an application and participating in an interview to verify income and needs. The program generally requires people to renew applications on a regular basis to update the state government with information about current income and needs, which is sometimes possible through the online account used to manage benefits. Each state features its own sites and processes.
USDA.gov contains a list of all the online SNAP management websites per state, as well as details about the general application process for the program. If there is no online portal or online renewal process for your state, contact a SNAP office or your benefits caseworker to learn the steps for renewing your aid. This may include filling out additional forms, visiting an office for a new interview or submitting proof of income.
