NOTICE:

Connecticut passed new legislation requiring DSS to spread out SNAP benefit issuance dates throughout the month rather than concentrating them in the first few days. Read up on the changes that start March 1.

DSS benefits have changed due to the federal budget reconciliation bill (H.R.1). Find out how it will impact you on our website, which answers questions about work requirements and exemptions for SNAP and HUSKY (Medicaid).

Summer EBT - S-EBT

I Don't Want The S-EBT Benefits, Can I Opt Out?

Yes, you do not have to participate in S-EBT. Instead, do not activate the card. You can cut the card up and the benefits will automatically expire after 122 days.

If you change your mind, and decide you want the S-EBT benefits, call and request a replacement card.

If you choose to participate, it will not take away benefits from someone else.
