What is EBT ? and how Fresh EBT PC app helps the People
Electronic benefit transfer (EBT) is an electronic system that allows state welfare departments to issue benefits via a magnetically encoded payment card used in the United States. It commenced its operations in 2004. The average monthly EBT payout is $125 per participant.
Through EBT, a recipient uses their EBT card at participating retailers to purchase food items authorized by the USDA’s SNAP program. Cash benefits may be used to purchase any item at a participating retailer, as well as to obtain cash-back or make a cash withdrawal from a participating ATM.
State agencies work with contractors to procure their own EBT systems for delivery of SNAP and other state-administered benefit programs. In the United States, all SNAP benefits are now being issued via EBT.
For example, recipients apply for their benefits in the usual way, by filling out a form at their local food stamp office or online. Once eligibility and level of benefits have been determined, information is transferred to the state’s EBT contractor. Once they are approved for benefits, an account is established in the recipient’s name, and their SNAP benefits are deposited electronically in this account each month. A plastic debit card, similar to a bank card, is issued and a personal identification number (PIN) is assigned or chosen by the recipient to control access to their account.
Propel released Fresh EBT, a free digital app that allows food-stamp recipients to check the balance and transaction history linked to their EBT card. The app had 2 million users at the start of the year. This number has increased by a million in just a few weeks due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Everyone who goes grocery shopping with an EBT card has to call the 1-800 number on the back of the card first because that’s how they can check the balance,” he explained. “If you try to check out at the grocery store and you don’t have enough left on your card, you get into this really embarrassing experience of having to decide do you want three apples or two and trying to figure out how to get your balance to be appropriate for the amount of food that you’re trying to buy.
