Yes, EBT customer service representatives can view your transaction history to assist you with any issues or inquiries regarding your account.

As an online assistant, I'm afraid I don't have access to specific personal information or individual accounts due to privacy and security reasons. Normally, once you've reported your EBT card lost or stolen, a replacement will be issued to the address on file. It usually takes around 5-7 business days to arrive. To verify the status of your replacement card, please directly contact your local EBT Benefit Services office or the phone number provided on the back of your card.

We're sorry to hear about the issue you're experiencing with your new EBT card. It's possible that your card needs to be activated before you can use it. Card activation processes can vary, but it generally involves calling a certain number that should be found on the card or the documentation that came with it. If your card is showing as deactivated, it may be an issue with incorrect activation or a system error. Unfortunately, without direct access to your account or the ability to investigate the situation, we're unable to provide a specific solution. Please reach out to your local EBT customer service for resolution. They should be able to assist you with card activation or issue resolution.

We understand the urgency of your situation. While we can't directly assist with reaching customer service, we can suggest trying to use the automated system to report your card as lost or stolen. This should connect you to a live representative who can check the status of your replacement card. If this doesn't work, we urge you to visit your local department of social services to hopefully expedite the process. Please remember to bring an identification document with you.

Registration for EBT benefits varies by state, but typically requires you to apply through your state's Department of Human Services or similar agency. Application generally involves providing information about your income, expenses, household size, and other factors that determine eligibility. Once your application is approved, you'll receive an EBT card which the state will load with your monthly benefits. These can then be used like a debit card to purchase eligible items at qualifying retailers. Remember to secure and renew your benefits as required by your state's regulations.
