Delivering for YOU in Harrisburg
This week at the Capitol we rallied to fund public transit and celebrated the 4th annual K. Leroy Irvis Day of Action, recognizing the first Black Speaker K. Leroy Irvis. My first bill passed through the House and now makes its way to the Senate! This bill, the Voting Rights Protection Act, will make it easier for voters to exercise their right to vote and improve the elections process. It allows for early voting, more ballot drop boxes and allowing voters to correct minor errors on a mail-in ballot, as well as allowing election officials to prepare mail-in ballots ahead of Election Day, also known as pre-canvassing.
Lock your EBT Card with ConnectEBT
Pennsylvania is proud to offer a new EBT card lock safety feature through ConnectEBT. Locking an EBT card blocks all purchases, balance inquiries, and transactions to keep benefits secure. EBT cardholders should always lock their card when it is not in use, then simply unlock before making a purchase.
SNAP and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) recipients can lock and unlock their EBT cards using Conduent’s free, and secure ConnectEBT app, available on Apple and GooglePlay app stores, or via the Connect EBT website.
WATCH a how-to video on how to use this new security feature. Additional info on how to protect yourself from scams can be found at www.dhs.pa.gov/scams.
