Make sure your new EBT chip card reaches you! Verify your mailing address on commonhelp.virginia.gov or at our office by September 9. 📬
Your balance will transfer automatically once you activate the new card. Current cards expire 60 days after your new card is mailed.
Your new chip card offers added protection against card skimming, but card security doesn’t stop there! Remember to lock and unlock your EBT card through the ConnectEBT app or website — whether you’re using your current card or your new chip card.
