EBT cards to expire soon

By Submitted

12/10/2024

(KLZA)--The Department of Health and Human Services is sending out expungement letters for unused Summer Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) funds.

Federal requirements deem that Summer EBT benefits are available for 122 days or four months. The 122-day count begins the day after the benefits are issued. The fifth group of eligible households received Summer EBT issuances on September 10. If any Summer EBT benefits are not used within 122 days, they must be returned to the United States Department of Agriculture as required and can not be reissued.

Households that received issuances on September 10 and have not used all of their Summer EBT funds before the 122-day expiration date will receive a letter notifying them of the required expungement that will occur on January 10.

On or before December 30, a household may request a replacement Summer EBT card if the original card has been lost, damaged, or was not received. After December 30, a replacement Summer EBT card will not arrive in time to use the benefits and avoid the expungement. Replacement cards may be ordered by visiting the Summer EBT Card Replacement link at https://dhhs.ne.gov/Pages/SEBT-Card-Replacement.aspx or calling (800) 383-4278, option five.
