I’m in Ga and didn’t receive my FS reload on 8/9. This has never happened before. I can’t get anyone on the phone and my local office said I have to wait at least 2-3 you speak to someone. I have a 3 yr old and 10 months old boys. I wasn’t able to wait that long today..
Nicole Stanley

I am in Lula, ga. Haven’t received mine in 2 months. But the gateway says I have them. Checked my card this morning nothing still. Called and left a message with my local office still nothing.
Jennifer Green Flowers

I actually woke up this morning ready to go to the store to get a few items but decided to call and check my balance first. The balance hasnt updated as it should on Aug 1st. I made sure last week that it was not yet time to renew. I called the help line and of course they are “updating the system” so I couldnt get any answers. Im in Texas.

  I’m in Pennsylvania and this is the first time I’ve never received my food stamps on the first of the month I called customer service and they said they were reviewing my file and that nobody else was affected I’m finding this hard to believe
- Kimberly Green
  
  I’m in Pennsylvania and today was the first time ever in the past six years that I have not received my food stamps on the first of the month I was wondering if you’ve heard anything? I called customer service but they’re telling me that it’s my file and no one else is affected but I don’t know what to believe
  - Chanel Weatherington

Sherry Applegate

Still nothing sent letter back two months ago and still no food stamps and no body can tell me anything
Khari

SNAP was supposed to reload on Saturday, the 14th, it is now Monday, the 16th, and still no dice. DHHS is so inundated that the automated system just dumps you out before you can even finish the process. Customer service lines are no help whatsoever. I hope this is resolved soon.
crystale quintana

I was supposed to get my food stamps on the 9th and haven’t gotten them yet today either on the 10th. What are we supposed to do in order to receive the stamps so we can food on the table for our family’s?
Shylah Smallwood

I usually get my food stamps on the 9th of every month and it’s telling me i only have $1.04 on it from last month when I’m supposed to get $250.00
Lui

So i just left the snap building , there was no outage … apparently there was a glitch in my case(i know the reason as to why i had the glitch; she explained to me why ) … lady was so nice and very helpful she said my case is active and ive turned in all my paperwork … so she put in my benefits manually and will be in my card within 24-48 hours . I suggest everyone go in person, bcus i had called on the 5th of July and all i was told was to keep calling my card for the balance ; kept calling and benefits were not in … its always better to go in person …
BabiBlue84

Do we have to call to get our stamps loaded this month? I’m sure the wait time will just be lovely first thing on a Monday morning…
Dawn Holt

I thought that I was the only one having problems with this. I normally get my benefits on the 8th of each month, and here it is, July 9th and still showing $0.00 even though my status is active. They need to get this fixed now since so many of us depend on these benefits for food and it seems we’re all unable to fill our empty cabinets and refrigerators.
Nina Peppers

I recieved my benefits on time (4th of every month) but tried to use my card today and multiple stores and it will not work!!!
Nunya30

I was supposed to get my fs today,didn’t..been like this for 3 or 4 months now. I have to call them to get them put on my card. Today is Sunday though,im screwed i guess…sigh..
Joe King

Yeah, everyone is having this issue. And the cherry on top, there isn’t any information as to when the problem will be resolved. In the meantime people across the US who depend on snap are going hungry. But please go ahead and take your sweet a__ time getting this resolved, my children and I can just go hungry again.
Jessica Swiney

  - Mailena Millard
    
    I haven’t got mine and I’m nebraska no notification of renewal or anything

Nora Berryman

They finally answered their phone. Told me they sent me two letters to sign and I didn’t return either one. That’s because I didn’t get any letters to sign. Now I have to reapply as my stamps are discontinued.

Tracey Koszegi

I tried to use my EBT card at Publix in Tavares, FL (central Fla) at 10:30 am today (June 20) and I just used it yesterday & have $70 left on my card, but the transaction would not process. Cashiers in store said EBT has not been working today.
- Hailey Franklin
  
  Tried using it in Jacksonville a few times between 7:30am – 9am today and it is down.
  - disqus_prtr5pt3aU

Lonal Nancy

Their support number +1-818-322-0217… may be this will work for all…
Sherry Applegate

Found out why didn’t get food stamps yesterday because state took over and have to fill out letter and send back to state and they decided if I get my food stamps that’s everybody that gets food stamps so state will send out letter they have to wait welfare said they can’t tell me how long I have to wait because it’s they state I live in nj
- Rebecca Hubert
  
  Oh wow, so is this everywhere do you know? Is everyone going from county to state?
  - Sherry Applegate
    
    Yes yes because of the order Trump did couple months ago state will send out letter they you have to send it back then state will decide if you get your food stamps because you have to either work 20 hours a week or look for work 20 hours a week that’s everybody I live in nj and won’t get my food stamps until state gets my letter and decided and welfare said they can’t tell me how long I have to wait
    - Duckster1964
      
      Congress hasn’t passed any laws yet, so there is no possible way for the President to be able to sign it into law yet….
      
      This is just a bunch of liberal crybabies trying to blame Trump for their hatred of poor Americans….
Dominique Daron

Francine Stover it’s quite obvious that you are either a spoiled , pampered lil rich girl who hasn’t a clue what living in the Real world is like or you married into money and sit on your enormous bon bon arse all day with nothing better to do then put others down so you can feel better about your pathetic existence. It is really too bad that with all your money you can’t buy intelligence or common sense because you are clearly ” short ” in Both . Why else would you mouth off about things you know nothing about and ….. Use your Real Name !!! You do know that this is a public forum …. Right ?! and your Real name ” Francine Stover” is also very public as are your small minded , inane comments….so if you don’t want people ” googling ” your name online & tracking you down I would suggest you keep your spoiled , privileged moronic mouth shut .
Secret Owl

UPDATE: the federal government has decided to have a EBT holiday, it is like a bank holiday, where basically they rotate peoples benefits for 30 days at a time, so if you didnt get them on you day, you will next month. This supposedly is because the general fund is going into a negative, they said it should only happen 2 times a year. I asked them why we didnt get informed about this and basically it was done by executive order on an emergency situation otherwise the entire system would collapse like a Los Angles power outage in the middle of summer, which would set off a lot of people, possibly cause food riots etc. They also mentioned that half of the money saved with these roving EBT blackouts will go to build THE WALL , as they are also blaming this collapse of the EBT system on Mexicans coming over the border and getting several EBT cards for every member of their family many times over and they cant really distinguish between the legit names and bogus because there are way too many with the same name, basically they are cheating because not all own a drug dealing business as they put it, but I think that is bullship to accuse my brothers of such things, I hung up after they started in on having babies, so sorry that is all the info I have… oh , except if your case ends in a letter and not a number, you are not infected by the EBT roving blackouts.
