OLGT 2022-60: Cross Programs: EBT Security

Due to an increase in the theft of benefits stored on EBT cards, additional steps are necessary to help secure SNAP, TAFDC, EAEDC and P-EBT benefits. Keeping EBT card information protected is necessary to prevent the loss of cash assistance, SNAP, and P-EBT benefits.

The Department is instructing clients to re-PIN their EBT card prior to each benefit issuance. All cash clients must be informed that direct deposit is a safer way to receive TAFDC and EAEDC.
