Can a Florida issued food stamp card be used out of the state if the person is a Florida resident but traveling? |
[Edit] |
No, individual states do not have procedures for reimbursement when it pertains to the public assistance program of another state.
--Actually, Yes they can. Taken directly from the USDA website:
13. Can I use my electronic benefits transfer (EBT) card in another state?
In most cases the answer is yes. Almost all EBT cards can be used in all States. Only Ohio and Wyoming EBT cards cannot be used in other States because these States use a different type of card, called Smartcards. Ohio EBT cards will be able to be used in all states by June 2006, however. Until then, clients from other States who need to use their EBT cards in Ohio or Wyoming can do so at most of the larger chain stores that have their own equipment to process both types of EBT cards.
