​How can I protect myself again​st electronic benefit theft like phishing and skimming?

  • Freeze your card immediately after each use and unfreeze it before making purchases. This can be done in the “Freeze Card" section under “Account Services" by visiting Cardholder.ebtEdge.com or using the ebtEdge mobile app.
  • Block purchases made outside of Oregon and online purchases. These blocks can be removed by you when necessary. This can be done in the “Protect My Account" section under “Account Services" by visiting Cardholder.ebtEdge.com or using the ebtEdge mobile app.
  • Keep your PIN secret. Do not share your PIN with anyone outside your household. Cover the keypad when you enter your PIN on a machine.
  • Check your EBT account regularly for unauthorized charges. If you notice any, cancel your ca​rd immediately.
  • Check card reading machines to make sure there's nothing suspicious overla​yed or attached to the card swiper or keypad. The overlays can be difficult to detect but are often bigger than the original machine and may hide parts of the machine.
  • ​ Do not provide your EBT card number or PIN by phone or text. Sometimes scammers use text messages to obtain EBT card numbers and PINs, and steal SNAP benefits. These are known as phishing scams and are a type of fraud. ODHS will never send a text message to request your information.​​​
