EBT (Electronic Benefits Transfer) is the technology used today for Food Stamp purchases. Rather than having paper vouchers like they did years ago, Food Stamp clients now have all their benefits saved electronically on plastic cards much like debit or credit cards.

When making purchases, the card is run through the same POS (Point of Sale) machine used for other forms of electronic payment. In 2006, nearly 11.7 million households (or 27 million people) across the U.S. participated in the EBT program. While the movement to transfer Food Stamp benefits from paper to plastic has increased the program's convenience and efficiency in general, it has made the use of benefits at most direct marketing outlets much more difficult, thus decreasing access to the freshest products available.
