Scam/Fraud Alert
There are reports that a stimulus package may make its way through the legislature at a federal level.
This package could include payments to many Americans via check or direct deposit. Although there are no details, the Federal Trade Commission has already issued guidance to spot potential scams/fraud related to this:
• The government will not ask you to pay anything up front to get this money. No fees. No charges. No nothing.
• The government will not call to ask for your Social Security number, bank account, or credit card number. Anyone who does is a scammer.
Reports of checks aren’t yet a reality. Anyone who tells you they can get you the money now is a scammer.
Looking for access to free meals while schools are closed?
Texas parents can now visit the MealFinder Map to find locations near them where local school systems are offering free school meals—both breakfast and lunch—for pick-up while school buildings are closed because of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).
