Skimming of Electronic Benefit Transfer and Hoosier Works Benefit cards is on the rise and the Family and Social Services Administration would like your assistance to help protect SNAP benefits and combat SNAP fraud by card skimming, card cloning and other similar methods, which can include text messages. The FSSA Division of Family Resources will not send a text message stating that a benefits card has been locked and asking the recipient to call a number.
Fraud will not be tolerated as SNAP benefit theft victimizes Hoosiers who rely on these benefits to feed their families.
We are asking our partners to please to share the outreach materials information below on your social media channels to help raise awareness of SNAP fraud by card skimming, card cloning and other similar methods.
