NOTICE:

Federal shutdown information: The federal government paused full SNAP funding effective November 1. While partial benefits may soon be released, we do not yet have a confirmed date. If you need to check your EBT balance call 1-888-328-2666 or use MyDSS.ct.gov. For more information about SNAP and the shutdown we have put together a Frequently Asked Question page

Please be patient and respectful to our staff while we try to assist you through these changes caused by the federal government shutdown. If you need immediate food assistance, visit www.211ct.org or www.ctfoodshare.org

We will continue to add information on this site as the federal guidance changes or program operations are affected.

Learn about potential changes to DSS benefits due to the federal budget reconciliation bill (H.R.1) in our article, What will change with DSS benefits following the passing of federal H.R.1?
