What Time Are Benefits Loaded?
In Ohio, EBT benefits are typically loaded onto cards at midnight on the scheduled deposit date. This means that beneficiaries can expect their funds to be available early in the morning. However, it's always a good idea to check your EBT balance to ensure the funds have been deposited as expected. This can help avoid any surprises when you go to make a purchase.

What to Do If You Miss a Deposit
There are several reasons why an EBT deposit might be missed. Common issues include missing a renewal deadline or failing to submit a required report on time. Deposits can also be delayed due to weekends or holidays, as banks and government offices may not process transactions on these days. If you miss a deposit, first check your account to ensure all required documents and reports are up to date. If everything appears correct, contact EBT customer service at 1-866-386-3071 for assistance.
