The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) assists low income individuals with affording food. Historically, the assistance was paid in the form of stamps or vouchers. Because of this, the program is sometimes known as food stamps. In more modern times, the stamps were replaced with a debit system known as EBT.

Transfer Payments

In the US, Social Security is not, strictly speaking, a transfer payment; it's social insurance. Welfare payments and Medicaid may also be described as entitlement programs.

Can you go to jail for food stamp fraud?

Absolutely. That is defrauding the FoodStamp Program which is a Federal offense and punishable by a $250,000 fine and up to 25 years in prison. It carries the most harsh penalties of all the wellfare programs because the government has spent a lot of time and money trying to prevent it. I would advise against it.

Does wal greens everywhere accepts ebt food stamp cards?

Yes most Walgreens locations accept the SNAP or in some states the LINK card. You will see if they accept it because they will have posted a decal on the location door saying they accept SNAP benefits since each state will vary by how they term the way their food stamp cards are addressed. For example if you live in IL we call our food stamp cards LINK. So if you have questions about if your food stamp card will be accepted call the individual location and ask if SNAP benefits can be used there. Just about every Walgreens accepts SNAP benefits.

Also, many banks and some credit unions participate in multiple networks. This is what makes their cards versatile. Florida's EBT Only participates in the "quest" network.

So, make sure the store you are going to accepts the quest network of cards. Just like the visa network, the mastercard network, American express network or diners club network of cards, it is another network. Many banks, credit unions and stores also use quest.

Can someone who has legal custody of a child receive food stamps if the child has not lived with them for a year?

For the child, no; for themselves, yes.

You should consider that if the child is not living with you you must provide that information on the application or renewal. You can be prosecuted for falsifying the information you provide. You can only get food stamps for a child in your legal custody if you can say the child lives with you.

Also, if custody was removed from the parents by a court, and granted to you, and you allow that child to live back with the parents, you may be held liable for any harm that comes to the child because of your failure to take your legal responsibilities seriously. In my state, grandparents with guardianship allowed their daughter to take back custody of her toddler after the child was removed by the state because of child abuse. The child was subsequently fatally injured by its father and the grandparents are also being prosecuted. You should notify the court that your "guardianship" should be terminated.

What date is food stamps issued on in Philadelphia PA?

Food stamps in philadelphia are issued on various days each month depending on the last digit of your case number and the number of business days starting on the first day of each month.

For example:

If the first calendar day of the month starts on a Monday then case numbers ending in 1 would receive their stamps on the 1st. Numbers ending with 2 would receive them on TUE the 2nd. Numbers ending with 3 on WED the 3rd. Numbers ending with 4 on THUR the 4th. Numbers ending with 5 on FRI the 5th. Because weekend days are not business days. Numbers ending with 6 would receive theirs on MON the 8th. Numbers ending with 7 on TUE the 9th.

However...

If the first calendar day of starts on Friday then case numbers ending with 1 would receive their stamps on the 1st. But case numbers ending with 2 would not receive their stamps until MON the 4th. And so on. But you can always call your local welfare office anytime the automated service should have a recording of all the payment dates for each month. I always call 215 560 5200 and press 1.
