What Happens If I Misuse My S-EBT Benefits?

It is a crime to defraud the system or to sell your card and PIN to others. Repeated loss and replacement of your card may result in a special investigation of your case.

Misuse or abuse of your card will result in investigation by State and/or Federal authorities. Documented violations will result in negative actions including:

• Removal from the program
• Taking back any money you owe by reducing your monthly SNAP benefit amount or by you paying us back
• And/or referral for criminal action
