Rumor Mill

I didn't think I would have tp clarify this topic but, EBT is for food and cash assistance. The state does not monitor what the cash assistance is spent on. Usually, it's taken off the card via ATM. It can then be used for anything, including paying your Sprint bill. I think this is wrong. If your are truly in need of this service, you have more important things to buy other than cellphones. They have a government program if you really need to have a cellphone. The FOOD assistance is monitored and there are strict guidelines as to what you can actually buy, for example, you can buy a soda but, the card will not pay for a Red Bull.
