Electronic Benefits Transfer
EBT stands for Electronic Benefits Transfer and is utilized in the U.S. as a means to provide financial benefits to authorized users. These benefits are managed through an EBT debit card, which the recipients use to make their purchases.
The benefits received generally fall into two categories: Food Stamp benefits and cash benefits as authorized by state and federal assistance programs. People who receive Food Stamp benefits can only use these benefits to buy items that are recognized by the USDA. Persons receiving cash benefits from their state may buy any item at a retailer that participates in this program and can also get cash back from the debit card. http://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/ebt/pdfs/state-lines.pdf
