What will my application say online if I have been approved for food?
That is going to depend on the state that you live in and the best way to get information about what your regulations are from your state government. Google- look that up by the state, EBT, and regulations or rules and you will find a link to information from the issuing state that you live in. I live in Oregon and for us, they can issue a card at the EBT office for emergencies when someone signs up or they receive their card by mail in less than a week. I suspect, though I dont know for sure with your states set up, they may not approve right away, being set up for approval. Thats why I think you might have to wait. I havent talked to anyone that is in that process with the pandemic. I expect that it will really impact your time for receiving your benefits. Another reason to get online and find out how your state is handling it. I know here in Oregon, the EDD is completely preoccupied with Covid-19 cases. Good luck, I hope this is information that you can use!
