#Latest news with #SharonDietrichYahoo3 days agoYahooLetter: Chip-enabled cards would take bite out of benefits fraudI was glad to see your report about the state Department of Human Services initiative to counter skimming of SNAP benefits by providing a way to lock an EBT card between food purchases ('Officials urge locking benefits card to prevent theft,' June 5). But there is an even better solution: Provide chip-enabled EBT cards that cannot be skimmed. This is a commonsense approach that has much support, given the travesty of food being stolen from children, the elderly and low-income people. The commonwealth should fund chip-enable EBT cards in the next budget. Sharon Dietrich Tilden Township
