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 funds is important for budgeting and avoiding shortages. A quick EBT balance check in Washington can help you manage your spending.

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

How to Check Your EBT Balance in Washington

You can check your EBT balance in Washington through several convenient methods. These include logging into the official ebtEDGE online portal, using the Benny mobile app, calling the 24/7 customer service hotline, looking at your most recent store receipt, or visiting an ATM for your EBT Cash balance. Each option provides a straightforward way to stay informed about your funds.

1. Using the ebtEDGE Online Portal

Accessing your account through the official ebtEDGE.com portal is a reliable way to check Washington EBT balance information for both SNAP and EBT Cash benefits. You can also review recent transactions or freeze your card if it gets lost.

1. Click "Cardholder Login" and enter your 16-digit EBT card number, followed by the temporary security code on the screen.

2. If you are a new user, choose "Register" and provide your ZIP code, date of birth, and PIN to create a user ID and password.

3. Once logged in, your Food and EBT Cash balances will appear at the top of the account homepage. Use the "Transaction" tab for a detailed history.

2. With the Benny Mobile App

Using the Benny mobile app shows your EBT balance instantly after a quick setup process.

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

2. Tap "Add Card" and enter your EBT card number and PIN.

3. Follow the prompts to verify your phone number.

Your Food (SNAP) and EBT Cash balances update each time you refresh the home screen. Tapping a balance shows transaction details.

Benny also offers cashback on eligible EBT purchases at many stores, including Costco, Walmart, Walgreens, and Trader Joe’s.

3. By Calling Customer Service

Calling the 24-hour automated customer service line is another method for an EBT balance check in Washington. The service is available in multiple languages, including English, Spanish, Russian, Vietnamese, and Chinese, with more options on the state's Language Access page.

1. Dial 1-888-328-9271 (TTY 711).

2. Press 1 for English or follow the prompts to hear other language options.

3. Enter your 16-digit card number and four-digit PIN when requested to hear your Food and EBT Cash balances.

You can also stay on the line to request a printed statement, change your PIN, or report a lost or stolen card.

4. On a Recent Store Receipt

Looking at your most recent store or ATM receipt is a simple way to find your remaining balance without needing a phone or internet. Your Food and EBT Cash balances are printed near the bottom of the receipt, typically just above the time stamp.

5. At an ATM

Using an ATM allows you to check your EBT Cash balance, but it will not display your SNAP food benefits. To check your SNAP balance, you can use the Benny app or log into the ebtEDGE online portal.

1. Insert or swipe your card and enter your PIN.

2. Choose the "Balance" or "Withdraw Cash" option, then "Checking."

3. The screen will show your available EBT Cash amount before you complete any transaction.

Fees may apply, so it is a good idea to use a surcharge-free ATM. You can find one using an Allpoint network locator and looking for machines with the Quest, MoneyPass, or Allpoint logos. This is a good way to check EBT balance in Washington if you also need to withdraw funds.
