The SNAP Food Stamps benefit is one of the most important benefits for all United States citizens. This monthly check helps all needy families to have some extra money that they can spend both on food in supermarkets and in some restaurants. The purpose of this monthly check is none other than to enable Americans to have better food.
For that reason, getting or not getting a check every month can be vital for many American families. As there are always bad people everywhere in the world, there are times when thieves act in such a way as to steal money belonging to SNAP Food Stamps. And when that happens families find that the money that should be there from their benefit is missing from their EBT card balance.
In that case we must prove that our money has been stolen with all the documents we can provide. And the best way to do this is as soon as possible. The longer we take to try to prove the situation the worse it will be for us, since the thieves will have more time to do what they want. Reporting the theft does not ensure that we will get the check back, but it does at least give us some hope.
However, if we don’t get the application process right we may never get the money back. So pay attention to what to do if your SNAP Food Stamps have been stolen and you need to get your money back as soon as possible.
HOW TO CLAIM THE STOLEN SNAP FOOD STAMPS MONEY?
When claiming stolen SNAP Food Stamps, the best option is always to do it online. This will speed up the process. Going to one of the SNAP offices is not advisable, since the process is exactly the same and we will have to physically go there. Even so, if someone prefers to do it that way, it is also possible.
To file a claim for the stolen money, we will need several important details: your current address, case number and Customer Identification Number (CIN). In addition, any additional information about the exact situation we have experienced will be helpful. Therefore, it is important to report everything we know about the theft, such as our EBT card transactions, to the appropriate agency.
Regardless of whether we were victims of phishing, skimming or other types of theft, it is best to check our online history through ConnectEBT. This mobile application will provide us with a wide range of information that can be of great help in resolving the case of stolen SNAP Food Stamps benefits. Also, remember that it is important to be detailed in your report so that they can effectively help you.
HOW DO I KNOW MY SNAP FOOD STAMPS PAYDAY?
Unlike payments such as Social Security, SNAP Food Stamps checks are state-specific. This means that in order to know on what day we will receive this benefit, we have to know the specific calendar for our particular state.
So there is no way to know at the federal level this type of payments, since they are always at the state level. Therefore, to know when we will get each payment we must check the following schedule of days:
- Alabama: November 4-23
- Alaska: November 1
- Arizona: November 1 – 13

In any case, the best way is to look at our balance on the EBT card and then we will know if we already have the money available to use it for what we need to buy. If the SNAP Food Stamps payment is delayed, the best thing to do is to claim as soon as possible.
