Most of them use something similar to what Texas did to combat fraud - their benefits are loaded on a card similar to an ATM Debit card, and it's dispensed that way - some of it can only be used to buy food, some of it appears in the form of cash from an ATM. Not only does it combat fraud, it's less embarassing than having to drag out the very obvious food stamps.
LA has already said that this month's "benefits" have already been credited to the cards.
Illinois has the same system...it's called the Link Card..
