When you get Basic Food you may qualify for other programs, too:
- Free or reduced school meal program
- Special nutrition program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC)

How do I apply for Basic Food?
- At this local DSHS Community Service Office.
- Online at www.washingtonconnection.org
- By phone, without submitting an application, by calling 1-877-501-2233

EBT is the US government\s electronic based system in the US for payment of monies to those approved for food and cash benefit payments.

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.
