📱 To stay safe:

-Delete any unofficial EBT apps.
-Download the official app: FIS ebtEDGE
-Never pay to access your EBT benefits.

Your benefits and personal info are too important to risk. Please share this with others who use EBT.

🚨 EBT Fake App Warning

A third-party app called “Ebt edge – food stamps” is showing up in the Apple App Store. It charges users $4.99/week or $60 for lifetime access — but this is NOT the official app.

Only use the official app:
FIS ebtEDGE — it’s free and supported by the State of California.
