How does the EBT Card work?

The EBT card works like a bank card. Each month, the government will add your benefits into an account they set up for you. You then access your benefits by using your EBT card at POS (Point of Sale) machines to buy things or get cash back. You can also go to ATMs to withdraw money. Find out how to use your EBT card at participating stores.
If you receive Temporary Cash Assistance benefits, you can both withdraw money from ATMs or buy things at participating stores. If you receive only food stamp benefits, you can only use your EBT card to buy food from grocery stores.

Maybe the people that have to use this program could buy hambrger instead of T Bone Steaks, Canned Tuna instead of Crab Legs.

Try to smarten up a bit, dipshit.

A person who is out of work, doesn't collect unemployment and has two children gets about $650 per month. In case the math is too heavy for you, that's $22/day to feed four people, or less than two dollars per meal for each person.

They aren't eating T-bone. They're eating beans, rice, potatoes, canned vegetables, maybe some milk, a few eggs, and chicken or hamburger twice a week. And they're selling some of what they get to raise a few dollars to buy the kids a few scraps of clothing, maybe even a trip to the dentist, or some school supplies.

Try it sometime. Try feeding yourself for under $6/day.

I see these people at the cut-rate grocery. I know what they buy - the cheapest shit which will keep them alive.

I'll tell you something else you don't know, asshole:

I'm all for people getting off their backsides and taking car of themselves, but I know something you don't know - sometimes bad shit happens to good people. Sometimes you have a grade school education, and your $8/hour job gets shipped to China. Sometimes your mother or father gets hit with huge medical bills and you help out. Sometimes you get injured and can't work. Sometimes your wife or husband hauls ass and leaves you with three kids under 12.

I know some of these people, and I can tell you that for every freeloading bum, there are ten people who would suck your rotten dick for a minimum wage job.

A new Lowe's opened here recently. They had 10,000 applicants for a hundred $10/hour jobs.

You can work and take care of yourself? Good for you. But here's the deal: Commie Pinko Lefties like me are ready to give....even you...a helping hand when we can afford it and you cannot.

Choke on that.

Victory Lane
WIESBADEN, Germany ? The Army announced Friday it is suspending its tuition assistance program for soldiers newly enrolling in classes due to sequestration and other budgetary pressures.

?This suspension is necessary given the significant budget execution challenges caused by the combined effects of a possible year-long continuing resolution and sequestration,? Paul Prince, an army personnel spokesman at the Pentagon, wrote in an email to Stars and Stripes. ?The Army understands the impacts of this action and will re-evaluate should the budgetary situation improve.?

The Army?s announcement follows a similar move by the Marine Corps.

The Army?s tuition assistance program was available for troops to complete a high school diploma, certificate program or college or master?s degree. Under the program, the Army paid 100 percent of the tuition and authorized fees charged by a school up to established limits of $250 per semester hour or credit hour or up to $4,500 per fiscal year.

?The Secretary of the Army has approved the suspension of Tuition Assistance effective 5 p.m. (Eastern Time) on March 8, 2013. Soldiers will no longer be permitted to submit new requests for Tuition Assistance,? read a statement posted Friday on the GoArmyEd.com website. ?However, Soldiers currently enrolled in courses approved for Tuition Assistance are not affected, and will be allowed to complete current course enrollment(s).

?This change in the Army Tuition Assistance program applies to all Soldiers, including the Army National Guard and Army Reserves,? the statement read.

Student Veterans of America on Friday blasted the decision, saying the move could hurt troops? post military careers and leave them in debt.

"It is utterly unacceptable that the first casualties of Congress' inability to act are education benefits for servicemembers,? Michael Dakduk, executive director of SVA, said in a statement. ?The decisions of the U.S. Marine Corps and the U.S. Army set a dangerous precedent that educating our nation's servicemembers and veterans is an expendable option.?

Prior to the official announcement, messages about the suspension were circulating on various Facebook pages and on University of Maryland University College Europe?s webpage.

Frustrations were evident on GoArmyEd?s Facebook page on Friday.

?Wouldn?t one think that GoArmyEd would have sent a mass e-mail to everyone enrolled instead of a few people here and there? I haven?t gotten anything from my chain of command, GoArmyEd, or my school!,? read one post.

Others expressed concern about remaining college requirements or how the suspension will affect the enlisted promotion system, where civilian education is valued and rewarded.

Sgt. 1st Class Vido Barina with the 66th Military Intelligence Brigade in Wiesbaden, Germany, said taking away tuition assistance is the wrong move.

?Every commercial, every brochure, has money for college written all over it ? recruiting us into the Army and then taking away one of the main reasons we joined is a bit hypocritical,? said Barina, who added that as an 11-year Army veteran, it?s his junior troops he is concerned about. ?There are so many things that cost a lot of money and don?t need to take place that are not getting the ax.?

Although tuition assistance is being suspended, soldiers can continue to access their GI Bill benefits or use other funding sources, such as grants and scholarships or state tuition assistance for Army National Guard soldiers.

Sgt. Daniel Phillips, with the 66th MI Brigade, said he was hoping to save the GI Bill to pass on to his kids, adding that paying for classes out of his own pocket isn?t a realistic option.

?(Tuition Assistance) is something I?ve been utilizing my whole Army career to help me stand out from my peers and benefit my family,? Phillips said. ?I had a degree plan set up and this is going to be a huge setback.?
