Middlesex County Board of Social Services

The Food Stamp Program (SNAP) provides benefits to eligible low-income individuals and/or households in order to assist them in purchasing nutritious food. SNAP benefits can only be used for food products, as well as plants and seeds to grow food. Individuals/Households are issued a debit card that can be used just like a credit card at authorized grocery stores and other retailers. The amount of benefits received depends on the number of individuals in a household as well as their income, expenses, and other factors pertinent to program guidelines.

Check EBT Card Balance
States have their methods to log in and check your ETB balance online. We provide that information on our state pages.

Apply for EBT Card
Most states allow online applications for EBT Cards through the application for Food Stamps (SNAP Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) or cash benefits through Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). We provided this local office contact for those who want to apply for their EBT in person at this office. After applying for your benefits you will most likely need to come in for an interview at this or another local social service office.
