California EBT Card Balance

You can check your current California EBT card balance using different methods including calling the EBT balance phone number, checking EBT balance online and by looking at your grocery receipt. Your California Golden State Advantage card can be used at any store location that accepts food stamps, including outside the state. The department that handles the SNAP program in your state is the California Department of Social Services. Below we provide information on the different ways you can check your California EBT card balance. Make sure you have your card and pin number ready.

If you plan to check online you will need to create an account when you visit ca.gov. Once you have an account, you will be able to login and check the current balance on your California EBT card along with the ability to check the transaction history of your purchases. It is recommended that after each purchase using your food stamp card, you save your receipt so that you can keep track of your EBT balance. The receipt should show the latest balance at the bottom.
