Frequently asked questions

Does the Propel app work in my state?

Yes! Propel is available in all U.S. states and territories.

This means you don't need to call a 1-800 number or log in to a state website.

The app also helps you manage your benefits with:

  • Deposit predictions, so you know when your next payment is coming

  • Clear transaction details, including store names and online purchases

  • Security features, like fraud monitoring and
