If you could please transfer my food stamps I would greatly appreciate it.

Q) Last week i believe i was receiving food stamps from you while I was at New Life for Women, I am no longer there, I am at Shannon Nye. If you could please transfer my food stamps I would greatly appreciate it. I want to thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to read this and respond. Your response is greatly appreciated. Have a nice day.
A) Unfortunately, I can’t directly transfer your food stamps. Here’s why and what you need to do:
Understanding SNAP Benefits:
- State-Based Program: The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly called food stamps) is a federal program, but it’s run by individual states. This means benefits don’t automatically transfer when you move locations within a state or between states.
What You Need to Do:
- Notify Your Previous SNAP Office: Contact the SNAP office where you were originally receiving benefits at New Life for Women. Explain that you have moved to Shannon Nye and need to close your case there.
- Apply with Your New SNAP Office: Contact the SNAP office closest to your location at Shannon Nye and start a new application process. You’ll need to provide information about your current living situation and income.
Important Notes:
- Timing is Key: The sooner you notify your previous SNAP office of your move, the smoother the transition will be.
- Eligibility: Your eligibility for SNAP benefits might be reassessed with your new application based on your current situation.
Where to Find Your Local SNAP Office:
- Visit the USDA SNAP website for a state-by-state directory: https://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/state-directory
- Use the Benefits.gov website to find your local SNAP office: https://www.benefits.gov/

I understand that you’ve been having trouble reaching the EBT customer service over the phone, and you have an urgent matter regarding your food stamp card. I’m sorry to hear about the inconvenience you’ve experienced.
While I’m unable to directly email you with a solution, I can provide you with some alternative options to try and resolve this issue:
Check your state’s EBT website: Visit the official website of your state’s EBT program. They often provide important information, including instructions on how to report a lost card or request a replacement. Look for any contact email addresses or online forms that you can utilize.
Send an email: If you are unable to find the specific email address for your state’s EBT customer service, you can try sending an email to the general customer service email address provided on the website. Explain your situation, including your case number, the date and time of your missed phone interview, and your request for a replacement card. Be sure to include your full name and contact information in the email.
Visit a local EBT office: If it’s feasible for you, consider visiting a local office of your state’s EBT program. The staff there may be able to assist you with your lost card and provide you with a replacement.
