Maryland EBT balance check

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

1. Phone (24/7, free)

Call the customer service number on the back of your Maryland EBT card to hear your balance + last 5 transactions. Available 24/7, free.

📞 Call 1-800-332-6347

2. Online portal

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

→ Open Maryland portal

3. Mobile app

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

Maryland SNAP deposit schedule

Maryland 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 1-800-332-6347 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 1-800-332-6347 immediately to freeze the card
  2. Report it via the Maryland state portal: https://mydhrbenefits.dhr.state.md.us/
  3. Maryland 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
