Pennsylvania retailers should be aware of changes to the design of the state's Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards.
The new card image, approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services, will be a photograph of the PA State Capitol dome, and the cardholder's name and card number will be relocated. The cards will no longer display the word "ACCESS" in yellow lettering atop a green background.
Changes to the EBT cards are strictly visual; there will be no technical changes affecting retailer acceptance of the cards. The new cards will be issued starting in mid-April. Retailers should accept the new EBT cards and continue to accept the current ACCESS EBT cards.
Those with questions can email the EBT Project Office at RA-ebtinquiries@pa.gov.
