Massachusetts EBT balance check

1. Phone (24/7, free)

📞 Call 1-877-382-2363

2. Online portal

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

→ Open Massachusetts portal

3. Mobile app

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

Massachusetts SNAP deposit schedule

Massachusetts 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 1-877-382-2363 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 1-877-382-2363 immediately to freeze the card
  2. Report it via the Massachusetts state portal: https://dtaconnect.eohhs.mass.gov/
  3. Massachusetts 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
