The Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services (CHFS) is addressing growing theft problems in the Commonwealth for people who get EBT or SNAP benefits.
Cabinet for Health and Family Services officials say they have received 194 theft complaints since October 2nd.
A spokesperson for the Cabinet for Health and Family Services said fraudsters are placing illegal devices on an ATM or card-swiping machines to copy EBT card information which can then be used to make fake EBT cards. Scammers are using those fake cards to use the benefits.
Cabinet for Health and Family Services spokesperson Susan Dunlap said Kentuckians impacted by the actions of these bad actors are asked to order a new benefits card and update their personal identification number to prevent theft or additional theft.
The Cabinet for Health and Family Services said they will notify you if your data may have been compromised.
