Q) I mailed in my SNAP application on time and my benefits have not been renewed yet. The only way to access my status is with my case number, which I don’t know.

A) If you mailed in your SNAP application on time but have not received any updates on your benefits status, there are a few steps you can take.

First, you can try to contact your local SNAP office to ask about the status of your application. They may be able to look up your case number using your name, date of birth, and other personal information. You can find the contact information for your local SNAP office on the USDA’s website.

Another option is to check the status of your application online, if your state offers this service. You may need to create an account or provide some personal information to access your application status.

Finally, you can also try calling the SNAP hotline at 1-800-221-5689. They may be able to provide you with your case number or give you more information on the status of your application.

It’s important to note that SNAP application processing times can vary, and it may take several weeks or even months to receive a decision on your application. If you are experiencing financial hardship and need assistance with food, you can also look into local food banks or other food assistance programs in your community.
