Quote:So is that a good thing or a bad thing? Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the EBT system supposed to be about food?

No your getting confused the EBT is the electronic balance transfer card issued by the Feds it loads several programs one of them Being the snap ( food stamps) program. But like TED said it's also used for cash assistance in some cases child support. When they use the card it prompts them to use the different programs for example at the grocery store they'd have to select the food stamps account to with draw cash or use it for something other then food they'd have to be receiving some other kind of assistance, welfare check child support something like that.
