If you currently have an EBT card, you will be receiving a new one in the mail during summer 2024. The new card will have some updated security features to help reduce instances of fraud and stolen benefits.

• Similar to credit and debit cards, the new EBT card will have a small microchip embedded in the card. When the EBT card is inserted in the Point of Sale device at the grocery store, the chip will generate a special code that can only be used for that transaction.

• Similar to credit and debit cards, the new EBT card will also feature “Tap to pay.” Make a purchase by holding or tapping the card on a contactless-enabled card reader.

• Similar to credit and debit cards, there will be a 3-digit Card Security Code on the back of the card, used to complete some online purchases.

• For assistance with your new card, use the Client Customer Service Number located on the back of the card 1-877-328-9677.
