What is NEW with EBT?

Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) has had some changes in 2008!

Food Stamp Program now known as SNAP

Effective October 1, 2008, the Food Stamp Program became SNAP.

EBT Cardholders now have access to their EBT account information Online at: www.ebtaccount.jpmorgan.com.  To sign-on Cardholders will need their Active EBT card number and PIN.  The web access is safe and secure and offers unlimited access to available balance and transaction history.  A Cardholder must still call the EBT Helpline (866-545-6502) to report a card lost, stolen or damaged and to change the PIN if the PIN has been forgotten. The access that Cardholders now have to their Account Information via the Internet is as follows:

  • View Account Balances

  • View Transaction History

  • Search Transactions

  • Change PIN (Only if you know your current PIN - If you do not know your current PIN you MUST use the EBT Helpline).

  • Client can send e-mail to site to obtain information 24/7

  • Account Information is updated in Real Time

  • Help Screens are also available to assist with navigation and interpretation on the site.

Attention Cardholders who receive Cash Benefits!
