Your EBT card delivers benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and EBT Cash, such as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). Keeping track of your available funds helps with budgeting and prevents unexpected shortages. Performing a regular EBT balance check in Mississippi is a straightforward way to stay informed about your account.

This guide will show you how to check EBT balance in Mississippi using several methods, from a mobile app to calling the EBT Customer Service line.

How to Check Your EBT Balance in Mississippi

You can check your EBT funds in several ways. These include using the ConnectEBT online portal, a mobile app, or calling the customer service hotline. You can also find your balance by looking at your last grocery receipt, performing an inquiry at a store's payment terminal, or using an ATM for EBT Cash funds.

1. Use the ConnectEBT Online Portal

Accessing the ConnectEBT website is a direct way to check EBT balance in Mississippi, letting you see your real-time SNAP or TANF funds from any computer or mobile browser.

1. Go to the ConnectEBT website and choose “Mississippi.”

2. Create a user account if it is your first time, or log in if you already have one.

3. Enter your 16-digit EBT card number, SSN, and date of birth, then create or enter your User ID and password.

4. After you submit your information, the next screen shows your available balance for each benefit type.

2. Download the Benny App

Completing an EBT balance check in Mississippi is simple by using the Benny app on your iOS or Android phone to view your current funds.

1. Download the Benny app from the App Store or Google Play and open it.

2. Sign up with your phone number or email address.

3. Enter your ZIP code and link your EBT card.

4. The app will then display your SNAP and EBT Cash balances on the home screen.

Benny also provides cashback opportunities on eligible grocery purchases at participating stores.

3. Call the EBT Customer Service Line

Calling the 24-hour toll-free cardholder services line lets you hear your balance through an automated menu or speak with a live agent.

1. Call 1-866-512-5087 and choose your language or wait for a representative.

2. Enter your 16-digit card number and the last four digits of the cardholder’s SSN when prompted.

3. The automated system will announce your current balance for each benefit.

Interpretation is available in multiple languages, and you can find more language-access details online.

4. Check Your Last Store Receipt

Reviewing your most recent store receipt provides an offline record of your remaining funds. After a SNAP or EBT Cash purchase, look for the line at the bottom of the receipt labeled “EBT Available Balance” to see your remaining funds.

5. Perform a Balance Inquiry at a Store

You can check Mississippi EBT balance totals by requesting a free balance-only inquiry at the point-of-sale (POS) terminal in most stores that accept EBT.

1. Ask the cashier for a balance inquiry or choose the option on the card reader.

2. Swipe or insert your card and enter your four-digit PIN.

3. The terminal will print or display your current SNAP and EBT Cash totals.

6. Use an ATM for EBT Cash Balance

Making a balance inquiry at an ATM is an option for checking your EBT Cash funds, though it will not show your SNAP food benefits.

1. Insert your EBT card into an ATM that displays the QUEST® logo and enter your PIN.

2. Choose “Balance Inquiry,” then select “Checking” as the account type.

3. The screen and printed receipt will show your available EBT Cash balance.

To avoid fees, use an ATM in the Allpoint or MoneyPass networks. You can find a surcharge-free ATM locator online. Since ATMs do not show SNAP funds, you can check that balance through the online portal or the Benny app.

For any method, remember that benefits are typically loaded after 6 a.m. on your scheduled day. If you check earlier, your account may not yet reflect the new deposit.
