The program issues monthly benefits on an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card. Food may be purchased at any grocery store or farmers market that accepts EBT cards. Benefits can be used at some restaurants for hot meals. The program also offers tips on nutrition and how to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
