According to USDA, there are 20 states that are still sending SNAP benefits to recipient’s EBT cards. Some States do not call it the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
For example, SNAP is known as CalFresh in California. Texas has a Lone Star card instead of an EBT card. Anyway, their goal is the same, to give money to low-income families so they can afford to buy healthy food.
