Your EBT card provides access to benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) or EBT Cash, such as from Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). Effectively managing these funds is important for budgeting and preventing shortages. A regular EBT balance check in North Dakota is a good way to stay on top of your spending.

This guide explains how to check North Dakota EBT balance using several methods, from a mobile app to calling customer service.

How to Check Your EBT Balance in North Dakota

You can check your EBT funds in four main ways: through the online ebtEDGE cardholder portal, with the Benny mobile app, by calling the toll-free customer service number, or by looking at your last store receipt. Each method is free and available statewide, allowing you to choose the one that best fits your needs.

1. Use the Online Cardholder Portal

Accessing your account online is a straightforward way to check North Dakota EBT balance. You will need to create an account first.

2. On the ebtEDGE homepage, choose “Cardholder Login” to begin.

3. Create your account using your 16-digit EBT card number, Social Security number, and ZIP code. You will also create a User ID and password.

4. Once you sign in, your current SNAP and EBT Cash balances will appear on the “Account Summary” screen.

You can also click “Transaction History” to review deposits and purchases. If you forget your password, use the “Forgot Password” link on the login screen to reset it.

Reviewing your most recent grocery receipt is a simple way to keep track of your funds. Your remaining food and EBT Cash balance is printed at the bottom of the receipt after every purchase.
