It will also include instructions on how to activate the card and choose a Personal Identification Number (PIN).
The amount of benefit provided is based on income, resources and the number of individuals in the household. SNAP benefits are issued monthly on the Louisiana Purchase Card. This card can be used just like a debit card at authorized grocery stores and food retailers.

I think my food stamps has changed but I can't remember what it was last month.
I used to get snap benefits but when I started getting ssi they reduced them to 16$ then to 0$ my child support stopped when my daughter finished high school . I’ve tried several time on the laCafe site to reapply as my income is $783 a month now but it will not allow me to apply on the site . I still have my ebt card, I can never get any one to help me on the phone.
Hi pls help me out. You guys have been awesome, the only thing is that....I've been trying so hard to get food stamps but with no car right now. Or way to go. It has been hard. I finally got approved. I was told a card was sent via mail the 24th. Of last month. Here is it the 11! And I have not got a card yet.... my benefits are on my account but no card. Can i pls just go to the office and pick one up. I've continually emailed the help line. I was told it would be here within days because my benefits themselves were expedited.
I just came to Monroe Louisiana to stay with my son and his wife but I don't have any income coming and I want to know can I get any benefit and is there any way possible that can any help with food
I am trying to change my address. I was homeless and my cousin in Oregon sent me a plane ticket and gave me a place to live. I will be applying for benefits in Oregon tomorrow.
I had a simplified reporting due for SNAP. I’ve gone online at the web site listed on my letter from dcfs. When I tried to login to my account it kept saying my user I.D. was not recognized. I tried to create a new account but had the same problem .., user I.D. not recognized. I’ve tried calling also but the wait time was 79, 75 minutes long to speak to a representative.
Do I need to make a apt or just come in? I can’t activate my child’s Pebt card it said to contact your office I been trying for 3 days and I can’t get through just on hold all day
I have a paper from you that is supposed to be filled out by my landlord but she is refusing to fill it out And she has threatened me with an eviction notice if I ask again.
I've been trying to get in touch with this office to set up a Snap interview, As of today I've not been connected to your office.
