In this article, we will discuss whether Vons accept EBT and WIC. We will also discuss other relevant information regarding these.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As much as we want to blame the government for its incompetence and lack of action, they do have various programs that aim to help the poor and less privileged. Two of these programs are EBT and WIC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both of these programs aim to help low-income individuals and mothers afford to purchase healthy food for themselves and their families.<\/p>\n\n\n
First, let us talk about EBT or Electronic Benefits Transfer. This particular project provides funds and benefits to individuals who are qualified for the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The funds and benefits are provided by the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program or SNAP. SNAP is allotted a budget to further allot to people who are considered as low income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Those who do qualify for the program are given a plastic card which greatly resembles normal ATM cards. These cards are called EBT cards. Just as their aesthetic, they also work just like debit cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, instead of getting cash, they can only use the credits within the card to buy certain items. A fun fact about SNAP, it was actually used as Food Stamps but was renamed back in 2008.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the other hand, WIC<\/a> means the federal Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children. Similar to EBT, the state is also given a budget to further distribute to their qualifying population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
