The Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card, functioning similarly to a debit or credit card, is equipped with Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits and/or cash benefits. This card can be utilized at stores that accept EBT payments. To renew food stamps in Florida, individuals need to complete the renewal process before the certification period, typically lasting six months, comes to an end. This renewal is verified with the assistance of a caseworker.
There are several renewal options available, including the convenience of online renewal through a MyACCESS account. Alternatively, individuals can opt for in-person renewal by reaching out to their caseworker, contacting the local office, or utilizing the Florida SNAP hotline at 1-866-762-2237. Renewal prompts are sent via email notifications or mailed letters, and users are strongly advised to set reminders to ensure a timely renewal process.
