The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

Not always, this varies. For example if you have food stamps in Kentucky, you can use them in vA, NC, TN, and maybe a couple more states. I don't know how this is divided up, but somehow it is.

You can use your card in any store that displays the Quest logo or ATM that displays the Quest, Honor, or Shazam logo.
Using your card out of stateYou can use your EBT card for food stamp purchases in all states with these exceptions:
§ In Ohio and Wyoming you will only be able to use your card at some national grocery chains.
