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

What Happens If I Don't Use My S-EBT Benefits?

If you do not use the benefits on your S-EBT card for 122 days, or about 4 months, we will take them back. You will receive a letter in the mail at least 30 days before they expire. If the benefits are still not used, they will be automatically removed from the card.

Once S-EBT benefits are removed, they will not be replaced or reinstated.
