3. Mobile app

Most states have an EBT app from FIS / ConnectEBT. Search "Alabama EBT" in the App Store or Google Play.

Alabama SNAP deposit schedule

Alabama deposits SNAP benefits on a monthly schedule based on case number, last digit of SSN, or date of application — varies by state. Check your state portal or call 1-800-382-0499 for your exact deposit date.

Common gotcha: Most states deposit between the 1st and 20th of each month. If your deposit date hasn't arrived yet, your balance shows the previous month's remaining amount. Check your monthly deposit date in your state portal.

What to do if your card was lost/stolen

Call 1-800-382-0499 immediately to freeze the card
Report it via the Alabama state portal: https://dhr.alabama.gov/services/food-assistance/
Alabama mails a replacement card within 7-10 business days (most states)
If your benefits were stolen, file a fraud report — federal SNAP fraud-replacement rules apply
