Questions & Answers
This is a four-digit secret number that you will use with your eWIC card to access your food benefits.
When choosing a PIN, choose four numbers that are easy for you to remember but hard for someone else to figure out (for example, your child’s or parent’s birthday). DO NOT use the same number, like 1111, or a sequence of numbers, like 1234, for your PIN.
DO NOT give your PIN to anyone other than your designated authorized users. If someone knows your PIN and uses your card to get your food benefits without your permission, those benefits will not be replaced.
DO NOT try to guess your PIN. If the correct PIN is not entered on the fourth consecutive try, your PIN will be locked. This is done as a protection from someone guessing your PIN and getting your food benefits. You will have to wait until after 12:00 midnight for your account to unlock to try again.
If someone who should not have your PIN learns it, immediately call Customer Service at 1-877-289-8208 or got to www.ebtedge.com and change your PIN.
Benefits will be in your food account at 12:00 midnight on the beginning date and will expire at 12:00 midnight on the ending date.
The receipt from every purchase shows the balance, so the easiest way to know your account balance is to keep your receipt. If you don’t have your last receipt, get your balance from Customer Service at 1-877-289-8208 or go to www.ebtedge.com. You should always check the amount of approved foods remaining before you shop.
