Vendor EBT apps#vendor-ebt-apps
Every state also works with private vendors to offer EBT apps that let you check your transaction history right from your phone.
Most states use either ConnectEBT or ebtEDGE, but some states have custom apps with features designed specifically for your state's programs.
These vendor-provided EBT apps typically include:
- Real-time balance updates
- Transaction history (ranging from 60 days to 2 years depending on your state)
- Notifications when new benefits are deposited
- Customer service contact information
- Some security features like card-locking or out-of-state transaction blocking
Depending on where you live, your EBT transaction history may not show retailer information, so if that’s the case for you, keeping your receipts is a good idea.
Checking your EBT transactions through a website#checking-your-ebt-transactions-through-a-website
If you prefer to access your EBT spending history on your computer, you can use your state’s EBT web portal to check your SNAP and cash assistance transaction history.
Most states use either ConnectEBT.com or ebtEDGE.com. EbtEDGE is available in seven languages, including Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, Haitian Creole, and Polish. ConnectEBT is available in English and Spanish.
Setting up online access#setting-up-online-access
Set up an account or log in. If you've never used your state's online service before, you typically need to create a username and password.
To set up an account, enter the information required—typically your Social Security number, EBT card number, or case number.
To access your account online:
- Visit your state's EBT website
- Select "create new user ID and password" or "register here"
- Create a user ID and password
- Enter your EBT card number
- Set up security questions for account protection
Depending on the platform you’re using, you should be able to see either the last six or 12 months of your EBT card account history online.
Some states have their own benefits web portals where you can manage your SNAP or TANF accounts, state health care, and more in one place:

Store receipts#store-receipts
Your EBT information prints on store receipts after each eligible purchase, showing:
- Items purchased
- Amount spent
- Remaining EBT amount
- Store information
- Transaction date and time
Since your EBT app or web portal may not show detailed retailer information in some states, keeping your receipts for future reference is helpful.
Over the phone#over-the-phone
Every EBT card has a toll-free automated customer service number on the back that's available 24/7. When you call, you'll need your EBT card number and PIN to check your most recent transactions.
Remember: Mobile apps like Propel provide the quickest, most convenient access to your EBT transaction history.
By using an app to track your benefits, you can monitor your account activity regularly and catch any issues early, helping keep your benefits secure.
