SNAP EBT Outage, Problems

When there are problems with SNAP EBT such as an outage or website going down people need a platform to report such issues, because this has a massive impact on customers when they need help with the government scheme to supply them with food stamp coupon replacements.

SNAP EBT outage, problems

Is SNAP EBT down for you right now? The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Electronic Benefit Transfer is a great program that replaces food stamp coupons, customers are supplied with a card that allow them to use in stores just like debit or credit card. But when there is an issue customers of this service can report them right here on Is Down Right Now USA.

Seeing as there are no official social media channels this is where you can let us know if you are having problems, a place where you can connect with others. Maybe your SNAP EBT card is not working in store or you have lost one and need a replacement, but having issues getting one due to customer service not being helpful etc, or you could be having problems with your food stamps, balance or benefits. If you are having issues with a store please do mention the store name and location in the comments below.

SNAP EBT status reports for Friday 20th of October 2017

To find out if SNAP EBT is down right now, see reports below.

  • Tanya

    I was supposed to get my benefits today the 9th and I called this mornimg to check and I have not recieved them yet… I get them every month on the 9th,I am in Tennessee, is anyone else having this issue?I called the card and they do not show anything, and I have not recieved any letter saying I am not getting them anymore, I actually talked to the office last month!!!

  • Keshia

    I was supposed to get mine yesterday and still haven’t. I have a child to feed.

  • Daisy

    I’m in CA and also having issues with receiving food stamp benefits. Which I normally get food stamps on the 9th of every month.

  • Milee

    Been waiting since yesterday, we have children to feed.. Where is our $hit?

  • Milee

    …aaaand it’s people like you that make things difficult. You’re no better than anyone else. Instead of ridiculing these people that are just trying to feed their young, you should get back to working your “butt off”, since you love being a stooge for uncle Sam so much. If these hardworking people that are trying to feed their families are so stupid for not having a “backup plan”, get off of here, stop hogging OUR benefits, and continue to work your “butt off”. Sit and spin.

  • Lisa Marie Obermann

    What is going on ???? Please Government, don’t say it was the storms because it only effected the wires for EBT and child support cards ?? Come on !!! Bogus !!!! I have kids to feed… one is 14 months old. I’m out of milk, juice, EVERYTHING the baby can eat !!! Funny how this happened AFTER a government shut down.

Call me paranoid and I have no idea the actual motives but i have no doubt it is all pre planned and intentional. I will steal from a large business. before I starve. It is the children and the old folks suffering from it that makes it so disgusting.(and heartbreaking)

  • S. Lindsey

    I have (1) special needs little girl and I’ve also been given (3) others to raise each one under the age of 13 the youngest 18months. I work, I pay almost everything myself bc my husband is disabled and gets a partial Medicare check. I don’t like getting food but I’m taking care of everyone’s children that pay nothing toward them so I needed help, criticism from this site is horrible. The benefits which would only be my second were due today and haven’t loaded and I see there was no deposit of them???

  • Angie

    My link usually comes on the 20th of every month. So without even looking online I spent hours at the store today getting everything we really really needed and was ready to pay. I swiped my card bc I’ve never had issues and it said $0 instead I called and it said the same thing. This is in Illinois and it seems like it is still going on so I am for sure going to dhs in the morning bc I have 2 kids to raise .

  • Bakielynne

    Just left the pawtucket Rhode Island DHS office .it was packed they told us at 10.45am that nobody was going to get to speak to a case worker only to the desk.that got everyone talking .with over 40 people inside and more waiting outside the office in line at that time people began to get irrate.90% or more of the people there either did not receive their food stamps at all while others only received their cash. I’m a patient person after waiting in line for 2 hours the women at the desk did not know the answers to any of my questions .she only told me it could take 30 days to receive my stamps .she wasn’t even sure if they would reimburse me for the month of September missed.So with this i figured out what was happening something went wrong with everyones 6 month stamp renewal that was due by Aug 31st .all those papers that they now send to Boston were somehow screwed up .With the case workers and employees knowing this issue instead of announcing or posting at the entrance letting people know they mad.

  • Carol

    Jasper, TX here. Applied and was approved for D-SNAP Sept. 13 because of Harvey. Issued card and told to call the number on the back to set up the PIN. It just says that it is temporary unavailable and to call back later. It has been 6 days and lots of phone calls but we are only told that this is an internal EBT issue, that our application is good, money has been issued and the card is good. They are “aware of the issue and are trying to fix it”. D-SNAP is supposed to be issued within 3 days because you were in a disaster. Frustrated…

  • Leslie Mckinley

    Anyone in nc haven’t got there benefits yet
