You will need your Case Number and Personal Identification Number (PIN) to access the IVR system. If you don't have a PIN, the IVR system will provide you instructions on how to get your PIN when you call.

EBT Customer Service

You can call the EBT customer service phone number at (877) 328-9677. (This number is also printed on the back of your EBT card.) The EBT customer service number will let you:

  • Check your EBT card balance (CalFresh, CalWORKs, or General Assistance balance)
