⚠️Flood alert! Did you lose food bought with food benefits because of recent flooding or a power outage? You can file a claim to replace those food benefits.

Keep applying, renewing and reporting any changes that might affect your benefits. This helps make sure you get the benefits you are eligible for as soon as possible. Take steps to protect your benefits and your personal information by securing your card through the ebtEDGE app or at ebtEDGE.com.

For questions about the amount of food benefits received or if benefits aren’t loading onto EBT cards by their usual issuance dates, contact your local DSHS office or our Customer Service Contact Center at 877-501-2233.

In addition, we are processing new applications for benefits that were submitted after Oct. 16, 2025, as quickly as possible. To confirm benefits have been loaded to EBT cards, use the ebtEDGE or MyWABenefits apps or call the phone number on the back of your EBT cards.
