The fine print worth knowing before you go
- 1
Propel is not the government and doesn't decide your benefits
It's a third-party app that reads your EBT balance for convenience. Your state agency still runs your actual case, eligibility and deposit schedule.
- 2
Coverage varies slightly by state/territory
Nearly all states are supported for balance checking, but double-check your state is included before relying on it as your only way to check your balance.
If you get SNAP, Propel is a free, quick way to check your balance and catch deals — just remember it's a helper app, not your actual case file.
