What is an EDG number for SNAP?
EDG stands for Eligibility Determination Group. It’s a unique number assigned to your household when you apply for SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) or other benefit programs. It helps the system track your application and manage your case.
Where can I find my EDG number for SNAP online?
You can find your EDG number by logging into your state’s official SNAP benefits website. For example, if you’re in Texas, go to YourTexasBenefits.com.
Once logged in, check the “Case Details” or “My Cases” section. Your EDG number will typically appear near your SNAP summary and is usually 10 digits long.
If you do not see it online, look at your original benefits approval letter or contact your local benefits office for assistance.
Can I get my EDG number without logging in?
In most cases, no. For security reasons, EDG numbers are only accessible after you log in to your account or verify your identity by phone. You can call your local SNAP office or use the benefits hotline for assistance.
Is the EDG number the same as my case number?
Yes, in many states, your EDG number is the same as your case number. However, this can vary slightly depending on the state. If you’re unsure, contact your state agency to confirm.
