A notice about two Resource Centers.

Congress ended the replacement SNAP benefit program in December 2024. The best way to protect yourself against EBT theft is to call 1-888-328-2666 to change your PIN number before the start of each month.

Due to renovations the DSS Manchester office will be temporarily closed. A new temporary location opened Monday, Jan. 27 at 146 Hartford Road, Manchester. 

Wait times at the Waterbury Resource Center may be longer than usual due to renovations.

We are still open to serve you. For additional assistance you can also call 1-855-626-6632 or visit connect.ct.gov. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Summer EBT - S-EBT

Will S-EBT Affect My Children's Ability To Receive Meals At School?

Children who are determined eligible for S-EBT benefits AND

a. provide the last 4-digits of the Head of Household SSN on the S-EBT Application

OR

b. say the Head of Household does not have a SSN on the S-EBT application will not need to apply

    for free or reduced-priced meals in the fall.  These children will be automatically certified for free

    or reduced-priced meals.


You will need to apply for free or reduced-priced meals in the fall if:

a. the Head of Household did not give their SSN

OR

b. checked the box that they do not have a SSN
