Thanks for that list. Massive, isn't it?

Some abbreviations explanation:

EBT - Electronic Benefits Transfer card. A card like a debit card. It holds the users amount of benefits for food stamps, etc.

SNAP - Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, the fancy name for food stamps. The key word is supplemental, even though most beneficiaries treat food stamps as their main source of food.

TANF - Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. This used to be called AFDC, Aid For Dependent Children. In 1996, AFDC was superseded by TANF. Same idea, different name.
