Arkansas EBT balance check

Three ways to check your Arkansas EBT/SNAP card balance — phone, online portal, and mobile app. Arkansas SNAP is administered by Arkansas DHS.

1. Phone (24/7, free)

📞 Call 1-855-372-1084

2. Online portal

Log into your Arkansas DHS account at the state portal. Check balance, monthly deposit date, transaction history, and report a lost/stolen card.

→ Open Arkansas portal

3. Mobile app

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

Arkansas SNAP deposit schedule

Arkansas 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 1-855-372-1084 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

  1. Call 1-855-372-1084 immediately to freeze the card
  2. Report it via the Arkansas state portal: https://access.arkansas.gov/
  3. Arkansas mails a replacement card within 7-10 business days (most states)
  4. If your benefits were stolen, file a fraud report — federal SNAP fraud-replacement rules apply
