In what state are food "stamps" still used? I thought most states now use some kind of debit card account, so the benefits aren't transferable and there's an electronic record of purchase they can check.

Harder to do nowadays as most states use a debit card-like system that puts all benefits on a card. You can't just rip off $20 in stamps from the paper book and hand them over to the drug dealer anymore.
