To ensure your new food stamp (EBT) card is sent to your new address, you need to update your address with your local SNAP/food stamp agency and then request a replacement card. Here’s how:
Update Your Address:
Contact your local office: This is the most crucial step. You can typically do this by:
Calling their customer service line: Every state has a toll-free EBT customer service number. You can find this number by searching online for “[Your State] EBT customer service number” or by checking the back of your old EBT card if you still have it.
Visiting your local office in person: This might be the quickest way to update your address and potentially receive a new card on the same day, depending on their procedures.
Online portal: Many states have online portals where you can manage your SNAP benefits and report changes like a new address. Look for “[Your State] SNAP online portal” or something similar.
Report the change promptly: It’s important to report your new address as soon as possible to avoid missing important mail regarding your benefits.
Request a Replacement EBT Card:
Once your address is updated, you can request a replacement EBT card. You can usually do this when you update your address, or you may need to make a separate request.
By phone: Call your state’s EBT customer service number and follow the prompts to report a lost, stolen, or damaged card and request a replacement.
Online: If your state’s online portal allows it, you may be able to request a replacement card through your account.
In person: At your local office, after updating your address, you can ask for a replacement card.
Important Considerations:
Timing: While your benefits are disbursed on June 5th, it’s generally best to update your address and request a new card before that date if possible, to minimize any disruption in receiving your card. If you’ve already received the June 5th benefits, they will remain on your account and transfer to your new card once it arrives.
Delivery Time: Replacement EBT cards sent through the mail typically take 7-10 business days to arrive.
Fees: Some states may charge a small fee (around $5.00) for a replacement card if it was misplaced. This fee is usually deducted from your next SNAP deposit. If your card was stolen, it’s often replaced for free.
PIN: You will likely be able to set a new PIN when your new card arrives.
By following these steps, you should be able to get your new food stamp card sent to your correct address.
