3. Mobile app

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

South Carolina SNAP deposit schedule

South Carolina 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 1-800-616-1309 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 1-800-616-1309 immediately to freeze the card
  2. Report it via the South Carolina state portal: https://apply.scdhhs.gov/
  3. South Carolina 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
