If your food benefits were stolen from your EBT card through skimming, cloning or similar fraudulent activity, you may be able to have some food benefits replaced by submitting a claim. Claims can be submitted in person in a Community Service Office, by phone at the Customer Service Contact Center or by submitting a DSHS Claim of Stolen EBT Benefits form (DSHS 27-225). For more information visit, Online Community Services Office (CSO) | DSHS (wa.gov).
