Poorly written article. There have been zero food stamps for years. Use of the term Food stamps is a way to rile up conservatives not tuned in for over a decade.

In the late 1990s, the Food Stamp Program was revamped, with some states phasing out actual stamps in favor of a specialized debit card system known as Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT), provided by private contractors.

EBT has been implemented in all states since June 2004.

SNAP and ACCESS cards have been euphemistically called “food stamp cards” for several years now.
