What is EBT

These EBT programs are also known as SNAP, WIC, LINK, and Food Stamps depending on your state. EBT (Electronic Benefits Transfer) is an electronic system in the US that allows the state governments to provide benefits to authorized recipients via a plastic debit card. Common benefits provided via EBT are typically sorted into two general categories, Food Stamps and Cash benefits. Through EBT, a recipient uses his/her EBT card to make purchases at participating retailers.
