EBT Food Benefits Changed After Refund - Any Recent Updates?

I found a way to solve EBT benefit changes issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-Qa7RpaKDg

I've been dealing with EBT issues for months now. It's so frustrating! Have you checked your balance online or called the customer service number? Sometimes they make changes without notifying us 🙄

Ugh, the EBT system is such a mess rn. I had a similar issue last month where my benefits suddenly changed. Turns out there was a policy update that affected a bunch of us. Maybe check if there have been any recent announcements?

Hey guys, I found a way to actually get someone on the phone for EBT issues. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video explaining it: https://youtu.be/iYFSA6RTlOI

Have you checked if there were any changes to income requirements or household size limits? Sometimes that can affect your benefit amounts without you realizing it.

Okay, let me break this down for y'all cause I've been through the EBT wringer: 1. Always check your balance after any transaction, especially refunds. Sometimes it takes a few days to update. 2. Keep an eye on your mail. They often send notices about changes, but they can look like junk mail. 3. Income changes, even small ones, can affect your benefits. Make sure you report everything. 4. There's been talk about budget cuts, so some states are adjusting benefit amounts. Check your local news for any announcements. 5. If you can't get through on the phone, try visiting your local office in person. It's a pain, but sometimes it's the only way to get answers. 6. Document EVERYTHING. Keep receipts, take screenshots of your balance, note down who you talked to and when. 7. If you're really stuck, reach out to a local advocacy group. They often have insider knowledge and can help navigate the system. Hope this helps someone out there. We're all in this boat together, folks!

Anyone else notice that the refunds seem to process faster than actual deposits? Like, they're quick to take money back but slow to give it out 🙄

Hey OP, just a heads up, there was a system update last week that caused some glitches in benefit calculations. Might be worth asking specifically about that when you get hold of someone.
