ALT "What should I do if my EBT funds are stolen?"
ALT "If your SNAP benefits are stolen between October 1, 2022 and September 30, 2024, you can apply for reimbursement funds. - Change your pin immediately. - Report your benefits stolen to either the EBT Client Customer Service Helpdesk (866-281-2448) or your local DSS office. - You will need to fill out a form sharing more details with your local DSS office within 30 days of discovering the theft."
ALT "Scammers may try to gain access to your account by posing as EBT or DSS. The real Virginia EBT and Virginia DSS will NEVER: - Contact you via texts, emails, or phone calls to say that your account is locked or share links to access your account. VDSS will ONLY discuss your account through the official EBT Helpdesk line at 866-281-2448. - Ask for your EBT card number online or via text. Do not respond to unsolicited texts, emails, or phone calls about your EBT account."
ALT "The Virginia Department of Social Services recommends that SNAP EBT and P-EBT cardholders: - Do not give your EBT card, card number, password, or PIN to anyone not authorized to use your card. - Check your EBT card balance and change your card PIN often. You can use the ConnectEBT web portal or app, or call the Helpdesk. - Examine card payment devices for signs of tampering before inserting or swiping your card. Visit the DSS website for more information about card skimming."
