Who is this for?
Anyone with an EBT card (CalFresh / SNAP) who wants an easy way to check their balance and track spending.
What is the Propel app?
Propel is a free app for your phone that helps you manage your EBT benefits. No more calling the number on the back of your card!

- ✅ Check your EBT balance anytime — no phone calls needed
- ✅ See your transaction history — track where you've spent your benefits
- ✅ Get notifications when your benefits are deposited
- ✅ Find nearby stores that accept EBT

How to set it up
- Download the app — it's free on iPhone and Android
- Or visit propel.app and follow the download link
- Open the app and tap "Get Started"
- Enter your EBT card number (the long number on the front of your card)

Is it safe? Yes. Propel does not store your PIN and cannot make purchases on your behalf. It's a read-only connection to check your balance.
