Graphic titled “Scam Alert: Stay SNAP Safe” with red and black text on a light gray background. The graphic provides four tips to help SNAP recipients protect their EBT benefits from theft: Lock your EBT card until it is time to shop and relock it after completing your purchase. Avoid simple PINs such as 1234 or your birthdate, and change your PIN frequently. Check for card skimming devices before using your EBT card in person and never share your EBT card number or PIN. Report stolen benefits immediately, request a new card, and change your PIN. A red banner at the bottom warns: “If you receive a call or text saying your EBT card is locked, your benefits will be stopped, or you need to verify your identity, THIS IS A SCAM.” The graphic includes icons representing a lock, PIN changes, security protection, and reporting fraud.
