Are PA EBT benefits working fine?

[mvd]

My mom is supposed to get her EBT food benefits on January 12. Usually I see a pending transaction on the Connectebt website by now, but I still don’t see one. I have seen some reports of problems nationally. Could this just be a slight January glitch and they will come on time as always? Just a little worried.

9. Here, too

Benefits arrived as expected. I did get a scam text about the card being locked. Reported it.

3. Some info at link. Think this is only supplemental.

Suggest calling the office in the morning.

4. Right. I haven't heard much at all about the regular benefits, which is strange

And the wait to see the transaction is making me worry more.

5. No worries after all

I just saw the pending transaction of $281 on Connectebt. Everything should be fine.

6. Hi mvd

I assist older adults in applying for SNAP in NY and a number of my clients have reported the same issue which has been occurring for the past month or so. Apparently it doesn't affect the actually SNAP deposit, only the reporting of the pending transaction.

7. Thanks for that info.

I had seen some of those issues while searching. The transaction thankfully just showed even if late. Those benefits are very important to my mom and me.
