Marylanders who had benefits stolen by EBT skimmers get more help from state

Some Marylanders who had their food and cash benefits stolen from their EBT cards by fraudsters using “skimming” devices are now able to reclaim even more of their stolen benefits. The office of Maryland Gov. Wes Moore announced Wednesday that the state is expanding efforts to replace funds stolen from EBT cards. The expansion allows EBT holders in Maryland to reclaim benefits stolen as far back as Jan. 1, 2021. The previous cut-off was Oct. 1, 2022.
