I heard in Massachussetts you can use your EBT card to withdraw cash from ATM's, that just blows my mind.

At one time I would have thought that was a joke, but now know better. I'm waiting for some raging liberal to tell me I'm heartless and against feeding children because I am disgusted at the way too many people are taking tax payers for a ride. It's a big problem when millions are accepting freebies from government when they obviously don't need them. When giverment is willing to pass out cards for entertainment, of course people will take them. We've all heard the excuse from people who really don't need help- "If I don't take it, someone else will."
And why has government knowingly allowed this sort of fraud to get worse? I think I know the answer. It's all about votes.
I saw a spot on TV a couple years ago that the new thing is to feed children 3 meals a day in school because the government knows they are not getting the benefit of the food stamps. So pay twice, feed them once.
DC Students Receive Dinner at School
WASHINGTON - Getting kids to eat three healthy meals a day can be a challenge, especially if money is tight. But D.C. Public Schools have found a way to take some of that burden off parents. They are now serving dinner at school.

Yep...our school system started breakfast programs about 7-8 years ago.
Kids who were on the free lunch program automatically qualified for free breakfast as well. As well as two schools continue the lunch program thru the summer even when the kids are out of school.
I heard in Massachussetts you can use your EBT card to withdraw cash from ATM's, that just blows my mind.
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.

Hmm I think it varies by state, I know in MA you can withdraw cash and such but in Virginia you can only use it at designated stores and only for food, you cannot use it for anything else and you cannot withdraw cash.

I took your quote regarding Massechussetts...and binged it...

Wow. They really need to change that, letting people withdraw cash off the card is madness.
Whooooosh.How many?
How many able-bodied adult Americans are choosing not to work and instead live off of government programs?
How many.............and how much is the total bill for this number?
C'mon nutters. Answer this question. I've been asking you for several months now.
The point is not that they chose not to work, the point is that the government is, as usual, incompetent with taxpayer money.
Seriously, Mass only just prohibited food stamp funds being spent on alcohol, tobacco, lottery tickets, nail salons, and tattoo parlors? Really? 2011? That's just amazing.

Yep...our school system started breakfast programs about 7-8 years ago.
Kids who were on the free lunch program automatically qualified for free breakfast as well. As well as two schools continue the lunch program thru the summer even when the kids are out of school.
When I was in school? We had 'reduced cost' programs or you just brought it from home...period.

If kids bring it from home now, they are apt to have their lunch taken away. Schools want to feed them and don't like parents trying to do it. They'll take away the healthy turkey sandwich and give them gross chicken nuggets.
They need to require IDs for using the EBT cards or at least put their pictures on the cards. That would help stop people from selling them. I can't believe people are using these cards at strip clubs, bars, tattoo parlors and nail salons, etc. If they can do all those things, they don't need our help. This is just giving people more than they need so they have the means to waste our money on this crap.

As of yet, I don't know of any way they have stopped the barterng of the cards for cash or merchandise.n Thumb print technology is available. Don't know why they don't use it.

You are referring to an already debunked story. Nobody's lunch was thrown away. You're perpetrating a myth.

The breakfast thing has been around for years. But the kicker her is they are now getting ALL 3 meals at schools to 'take some of that burden off the parents.' WTF? The parents are no longer expected to feed their own kids? So they just have their food stamps to blow on themselves. This is ridiculous. WTF did I work so hard for?
