SNAP & TANF FRAUD ANNOUNCEMENT

The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services has learned that that criminals across the country are targeting SNAP and cash assistance recipients by stealing benefit card information through a scheme known as skimming. Skimming is where criminals attach a device to a legitimate card reader to collect credit card information. We are recommending you immediately—and regularly—change your PIN by going to your SNAP or cash assistance benefits page, or by calling 1-866-386-3071 for SNAP and 1-866-320-8822 for cash cards. Follow the prompts to change your PIN. Again, be aware of criminals using skimming to steal your EBT card information and consider changing your PIN by going to your benefits page, or by calling 1-866-386-3071 for SNAP and 1-866-320-8822 for cash cards and following the prompts to change your PIN.
