    Be aware of scams

    Scam artists get your information to steal your identity. They may charge your credit cards or open new cards. They may use your bank account. Scam artists can write bad checks or take out loans in your name.

    If you get health care benefits, be careful about sharing personal information. Make sure you only answer health questions from trusted contacts. Know that for programs like FoodShare, your agency will call you for an interview. They may ask you to answer questions, so they know they’re talking to the right person. If you’re not sure who you’re talking to, hang up the phone. Call your agency or ForwardHealth Member Services at 800-362-3002.

    After you apply for ForwardHealth programs, you should only use the ACCESS website and MyACCESS mobile app to manage your benefits. If you get FoodShare benefits, you can also view your account details on the ebtEDGE mobile app.

    The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is the nation’s consumer protection agency. The FTC advises you not to give out any information to people you don’t know. This includes phone calls, text messages, emails, or knocks on your door.

    • If you think a scam artist may have contacted you, tell the FTC by going to their website or call 877-FTC-HELP.
    • If you think some has stolen you identity, report it on the FTC’s website, or call 877-ID-THEFT.
