Great safety tips to protect your EBT account

Don't let EBT scammers steal your holiday cheer! EBT theft is on the rise nationwide, with scams like card skimming and fake texts putting families at risk. However, you have the power to stop benefit theft in its tracks.

✔️ Switch up your PIN at least once a week with a code only you would think of.
✔️ Ignore any suspicious texts about your EBT account — they’re scams!
✔️ Routinely check your balance, keeping an eye out for unexpected charges.
✔️ Lock your card in the ConnectEBT app or website after each purchase.

A few simple steps can make a big difference in protecting your benefits. Learn more at www.dss.virginia.gov/benefit/EBTScam.
