Are these debit cards able to be used at Disneyland and Vegas casinos, the way the debit cards for public assistance people were used at such places????/

Just a little screw loose aren't you? Unemployment checks are cashed for money, and this money can be used for whatever the unemployed person wishes to use it for. Ditto the cards, they will be used in place of cash or can be cashed out and used for whatever. There are no restrictions on what unemployment recipients can do with their checks, or in this case cards. We are not talking welfare here, this is unemployment.

How do they manage to do this, but getting a voter ID would be impossible to implement?

Welfare, unemployment, Medicare, Medicaid, takes care of everyone but working people. However they get paychecks so the government can send Voter ID’s to the rest.

Problem solved.

Thank you! Some people don’t know the difference and there IS a difference no matter what they argue.

One drawback i forsee is the plastic factor. Some recipients may be less responsible to their budgets and the debit cards could make them spend their funds more quickly and perhaps more on trivial items. In other words their money runs out a lot faster before the end of the month.

You sure about that? Pardon my sarcasm.
