You can't do it over the phone, only in person.

And when you get through you will be on hold for 2-3 hours! Making a phone call is an all day thing! Good luck!

I lost my Medicaid card. I need a replacement card, to bring it to the doctors office. How do I get another card? I do know my account number on the card. Who do I contact? I don't have my card to call the number on the back of the card. How can I reach out to DSS? I need this card for my doctors office.

Is it you just don't have your cards misplaced or lost Or do you not have a ss number if you don't you need to get numbers for you both. If you misplaced or lost them you need to fill out form to replace them but should still be able to get benefits

I lost my. Team up for mu6 food stamps

Dodi Kulikauskas | Sep 23, 2020
William W. Campbell-Shepherd IX | Sep 23, 2020

well if you lost your card I believe you can go to this place to ask for a replacement. If you were taken off of food stamps then you will probably need to reapply. Of course I can't understand your question but I'm just guessing at what you maybe intended

My question is I receive my foodstamps, cash assistance on the 2nd of every month. In Feb. The 2nd falls on a Sunday will I receive them on fri like social security? Or do I get them on the 2nd anyhow?

Jeffrey Lynch | Sep 23, 2020
Syttorak | Sep 23, 2020

Pretty much what everyone else said. You will always receive them on exact same day every month. 100% of the time. *UNLESS THERE IS A SPECIAL CASE* SPECIAL CASES INCLUDE - We recently had a "government shutdown" expected so they paid us our money on a different much earlier date, and some people where disappointed because it mean't they needed to be VERY CAREFUL not to over spend. AKA - they actually had to budget and pay attention, Oh my..... :-/ lol But as someone who has been on CT food stamps for quite a while, I can say without a doubt that except under RARE & ABNORMAL circumstances like the ones I mentioned. It will always be on your day. (the 2nd for you) There were some other instances, but they were so long ago I cannot recall exactly what they were. But I believe Obama had over paid everybody with a little bonus of some kind, at one point. They had ALSO given people who (normally) only had food stamps, cash one time. I think it was $20 each if I remember correctly.

I have a speech disability that makes it difficult for me to speak on the phone. Is there any e-mail address I can use to contact them?

Donna Brouillard | Sep 24, 2019

No. You can come to any one of the local regional offices to apply, or you can apply online. For interviews, you can go to an office to speak with a worker. Best to arrive first thing in the morning, prior to their opening at 8am.
