Lisa Victoria May 2, 2022 ReplyI have tried for the past two weeks to reapply for my benefits, and I havent been able to log in. I have called 211 which no one answered, then spoke with someone who claim they reset my password but its still not working, Can i Please get help resetting my password so I can reapply.
Hi Lisa, hope all is well.
You will probably hate me for this but..try calling them again. You are going to have to get someone to reset that password, so you can renew your benefits on the My Texas Benefits app/website. Honestly, I don’t think this is something that they can do at a food stamp office. You can definitely try especially if a food stamp office is close to you.
Just get comfortable place the call on hold and wait to speak to someone. When they do reset the password, maybe stay on hold with them to make sure you can reset it.
I sent in my renewal last month for my renewal june 1st and typically I have my card loaded on the 1st. In 10 years it’s never been interrupted. We depend on this to survive and after being on hold for almost 2 hours I was told they did not know when the renewal would be done because they are so behind on paperwork. They send us alerts frequently, could they not have alerted us to let us know there is in fact an interruption in our snap benefits and we will need to find pantries? Should I file for emergency snap in the mean time? I can’t believe this is happening.
Hi Wanda, sorry to hear there are delays w your renewal. Things are stressful enough with inflation!
If you do not have food stamp benefits and you believe you meet the criteria for emergency food stamps in Texas it can’t hurt. I would try calling the number you called or the Lone Star Help Desk (since you had food stamps) to see if that could get you benefits sooner. That number is 800-777-7328. Also not sure how you are renewing your SNAP benefits but may see if you can renew online or through the Your Texas Benefits app. This could speed up the process if you tried renewing w a paper application.
Bottom line is I would continue calling them…everyday if you have the time. The “squeaky wheel gets the oil” so call them until they can give you a timeframe or suitable options for getting food.
