An EBT (Electronic Benefits Transfer) card, known as an EBT balance number in Georgia (GA), is a government-issued card used to access benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). EBT cards look like debit or credit cards and can be used at authorized locations to purchase eligible food items.
EBT cards offer convenience and security, allowing individuals to manage their benefits electronically. They help to reduce the stigma associated with using government assistance and provide a more dignified way to receive support. The introduction of EBT cards in Georgia has significantly improved the efficiency and accessibility of SNAP benefits for low-income families and individuals.
