Returned EBT Cards
Applicants for DHHS benefits and SNAP are reminded when they move to update their address with ACCESSNebraska and complete a change of address form at the U.S. Post Office. Since Jan. 5, DHHS has noticed a significant decrease in the average number of EBT cards returned as undeliverable due to incorrect addresses.
The delay in the return to DHHS of EBT cards sent to recipients' outdated addresses occurred as the Post Office made changes Jan. 5 at its mail processing centers. This situation may result in some recipients not receiving EBT cards as timely as expected. The Post Office informed DHHS it will take some time to catch up with returning mail sent to incorrect addresses.
In the meantime, applicants and SNAP recipients are encouraged to update their address with ACCESSNebraska and complete a change of address form at the U.S. Post Office so they receive timely mailings of EBT cards and other materials.
