Wait took a while but that’s understandable. Other than that my experience getting my EBT card was great! The employee who interviewed me (Lewis Randall) was so kind and did everything he could to help get my family the assistance we needed as soon as possible.

I'm from the state of Georgia and I have to say the way you deal with people in need is phenomenal!! They made me feel comfortable and very at ease. They made the whole experience great and unstressfull. A million Thanks! You could really show other states how to treat their citizens.

Very rude and arrogant employees but I don't really blame them. The people in the waiting room were the like skid marks on the underwear of society. Give these employees a pass and try to be nice to them.

Extremely friendly and wonderful people working here

Hello DSHS, what do I do when I take a Temporary/ Fill in/ Helper Job and they do not give me a PAY Stub, so I know how much I made ??? Thank you,

Usually they will call your employer, if they can't they will try to call or ask for a letter from a coworker or someone else who can verify your income. Call the 866 number and ask, the operators are also social services workers and can help with that.
