I’m sure she had an EBT card. “Food stamps” is just a synonym these days.
It was WIC in 2008. That was probably still coupons.
WIC only went to EBT recently, and it still also uses paper vouchers, like checks, iirc.
WIC does require a nutrition risk analysis.
Wrong - “Food Stamps” is the SNAP card and can basically only be used on items with nutrition labels or produce.
The EBT Card is the welfare card and can be used for anything to include food items.
There’s a ton of both in use at both of the Food Lions I go to - and yes, most folks are driving better cars than my 2007 Ford Focus.
She specifically mentions handing over food stamp coupons at the checkout, so it seems not. Maybe Connecticut doesn’t use EBTs yet (or a few years ago)?
She also seems to be talking about WIC and Food Stamps interchangeably.
