I'm aware that they went to cards so as to keep a lid on fraud, but I still think that 'stimulus' conclusion is tainted. Elsewhere in the article, one of the food-stamp playas said that EBT wouldn't get rid of fraud. Although I'm sure the fraud is less visible now.

Food stamp fraud is just as bad now as it ever has been. Maybe worse. EBT cards didn’t even slow it down. The cards were issued to cut down on the embarrassment of having to count out food stamps at the cash register.
