What are EBT SNAP Food Stamps and Cash Benefits?

 

Food Stamps

A Food Stamp Benefit Card operates the same as a debit card meaning a merchant can swipe the card on the EBT SNAP or credit card machine, the consumer then types in their pin number. After the transaction is approved it is treated like a debit transaction and a credit is applied to the merchant's bank account the same day.

Cash Benefits

Unlike cash benefits, no certification is required by the USDA (Government). EBT cash benefits can be used to purchase any nonfood items or food items at a participating retail store as well in order to receive cash back or make a cash withdrawal from a participating ATM machine. A fee will apply to cover cost exactly as if it were a debit withdrawal.
