Important Information on EBT System Downtime
New York conversion of the EBT system through which Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program (SNAP) and Temporary Assistance (TA) cash benefits are issued will occur on
Sunday, May 19, 2024. During the conversion process, EBT access for food and cash
purchases or cash withdrawals will not be available to TA and SNAP cardholders for a period of
time. This EBT downtime is expected to begin around 12:01 a.m. on Sunday, May 19,
2024, and end at 11:00 a.m. However, the time frame for the system to be down could be
shorter or extend longer than 11:00 a.m. After the conversion, current EBT cards will
continue to work and there is no need for clients to replace their card. There will be no impact
on cardholders’ ability to access medical (Medicaid) benefits.
