Replacement of JP Morgan Chase EBT Cards

Developmental Disabilities Administration Update

June 5, 2019

 

In July 2016, DSHS switched Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) service from JPMorgan Chase to FIS. Today, a large number of active JPMorgan Chase cards continue being used by clients. Those cards are not compatible with FIS’ encryption keys and must be replaced or canceled in order to enhance card security.

In June 2019, letters will be mailed to clients with active JPMorgan Chase cards advising them to contact DSHS or FIS to obtain a replacement EBT card. New cards can be picked up in person or mailed.

In November 2019, another letter will be sent to clients still using active JPMorgan Chase EBT card advising that a replacement card. The letter will advise that a replacement card will be mailed in December 2019.

Approximately two weeks after the December card mailings, all remaining active JPMorgan-era cards will be canceled.
