Scam Alert: Keeping Your 3SquaresVT Benefits Safe

Written By Monica Taylor

Stop 3SquaresVT/SNAP Scammers! There are scammers calling and messaging some people, telling them that their EBT Cards are "locked" and asking them to call a number to verify eligibility. THIS IS A SCAM. 

The state's 3SquaresVT/SNAP agency (ESD, or Economic Services) will never text or call people with this message. The contact number for ESD is 1-800-479-6151. 

If someone has been a victim of this scam, please have them call ESD:

If folks want to talk to a service provider, they can call 2-1-1 and ask for their local Community Action Agency. Older adults can call The Helpline: 1-800-642-5119. 


Thanks for helping us share this important message.
