Meeting for Grocery Store Owners & Managers About Stopping EBT Scams – January 9th
EBT Scams are on the rise. Some families and seniors have a Snap EBT card to get food at stores (EBT stands for Electronic Benefit Transfer).
Scammers have gotten increasingly better at stealing money off of EBT cards. Steve Chan shared that over 1,000 cases of stolen EBT card money had been reported in District 17.
When a person gets robbed at a store, they tell everyone they know and people stop going to that store because they don’t want to get scammed!
If you are a grocery store owner or manager, please attend this seminar on Thursday, January 9th from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm to learn how to prevent fraud.

This is the first time I have seen an event like this in our area. It’s nice to see many politicians collaborating with Steve Chan and helping business owners.
Co-hosted by:
Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis (District 11)
Assemblyman Lester Chang (District 49)
Assemblyman William Colton (District 47)
Assemblyman Michael Tannousis (District 64)
Assemblyman Michael Novakhov (District 45)
