A notice about two Resource Centers.

Congress ended the replacement SNAP benefit program in December 2024. The best way to protect yourself against EBT theft is to call 1-888-328-2666 to change your PIN number before the start of each month.

Due to renovations the DSS Manchester office will be temporarily closed. A new temporary location opened Monday, Jan. 27 at 146 Hartford Road, Manchester. 

Wait times at the Waterbury Resource Center may be longer than usual due to renovations.

We are still open to serve you. For additional assistance you can also call 1-855-626-6632 or visit connect.ct.gov. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Summer EBT - S-EBT

How Will I Get My S-EBT Card?

  • If your child currently gets SNAP or TFA benefits or got P-EBT benefits on an EBT card, benefits will be added to that EBT card. 
  • If your child only has Medicaid, an S-EBT card will be sent in the Head of Household’s name to the address we have on file. 

  • If your child is not currently on any DSS programs, an S-EBT card will be issued in the Head of Household or the child’s name to the address on file with their school. 

  • If your child does not have a mailing address, the S-EBT card will be issued to their school. The school will notify you to pick up the card.

SAVE YOUR CARD! EACH YEAR, S-EBT BENEFITS WILL GO ONTO THE SAME CARD!
