Maine EBT balance check

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

1. Phone (24/7, free)

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

📞 Call 1-855-797-4357

2. Online portal

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

→ Open Maine portal

3. Mobile app

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

Maine SNAP deposit schedule

Maine 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 1-855-797-4357 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 1-855-797-4357 immediately to freeze the card
  2. Report it via the Maine state portal: https://www.maine.gov/dhhs/ofi/snap-program
  3. Maine 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
