SNAP Recipients Falling Victim to Fraudulent Activity According to Tennessee Department of Human Services

Posted on July 13, 2023

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or SNAP recipients urged to beware after the Tennessee Department of Human Services says some cardholders have reported their benefits stolen.

Officials say fraudulent activity such as skimming, cloning and phishing are a problem and they are unable to reissue any stolen benefits for EBT cardholders. A replacement plan is currently under review by the USDA Food and Nutrition Service.

More than 740,000 people in Tennessee receive SNAP benefits.

TDHS encourages people to change the PIN number for their EBT card regularly and to check your balance regularly.

Cardholders who suspect fraud are asked to contact the EBT customer service line at 1-888-997-9444.
