Mississippi EBT balance check

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

1. Phone (24/7, free)

📞 Call 1-800-948-3050

2. Online portal

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

→ Open Mississippi portal

3. Mobile app

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

Mississippi SNAP deposit schedule

Mississippi 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 1-800-948-3050 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 1-800-948-3050 immediately to freeze the card
  2. Report it via the Mississippi state portal: https://www.mdhs.ms.gov/economic-assistance/snap/
  3. Mississippi 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
