Dear Community Partner, Summer EBT  is an annual $120 food benefit program that helps low-income families with school-aged children buy groceries during the summer when they may not have access to school meals. The New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA) is preparing to issue $75 million dollars in Summer EBT benefits to over 600,000 New York City families with school-aged children who spent the benefits they received last year. New York State has received reports of benefits being stolen in other states and doesn’t want that to happen to New York City residents. Please encourage EBT cardholders to protect their benefits by calling the number on the back of their card and changing their PIN today, June 15th, or as soon as possible. Summer EBT households will also receive a text message from OTDA reminding them to reset their PIN.   For more information on resetting Summer EBT PINs, click here.  
Thank you for your ongoing partnership, and for all that you do every day to help New Yorkers in need. Sincerely, Office of Community OutreachNYC Department of Social Services
