All Official Lines – 24/7 Help

Updated December 2025 • Exact Scripts Included

I’m an Indiana local who runs this site. Last week my neighbor in Fort Wayne spent 45 minutes on hold just to report a $0 balance glitch on her Hoosier Works card. By the time she got through, her kids had missed dinner. That’s why I built this page: the right number + exact script saves hours. Over 550,000 Hoosiers use EBT in 2025 — here are all the official lines, what to say, and when to call to skip the wait.
