The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services has received a letter from the federal government that November Food and Nutrition Services benefits may be disrupted if the federal shutdown continues.
NCDHHS is working to obtain a better understanding of exactly what that disruption will mean for North Carolina.
It may mean that November FNS benefits may not be issued on your normal schedule for your usual benefit amount.
Dare County Health and Human Services understands how important these benefits are, and said they will share updates as soon as federal guidance is issued.
For more information on FNS benefits and impacts from the federal shutdown you may also visit NCDHHS’s website at www.ncdhhs.gov/fns.
You can check your balance in the ebtEDGE app or by calling the number on the back of your EBT card.
