Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) Card
CalFresh (formerly known as Food Stamps) and cash aid benefits come on a plastic card that you can use just like a debit or ATM card. It is called an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card.
EBT signs are posted on store doors, in check-out lanes, at automated teller machines (ATM) and point-of-sale (POS) machines tell you if your EBT card can be used at that store or machine.
Starting September 21, 2009, you can access the EBT Client Website at http://www.ebt.ca.gov in English and / or Spanish to:
- Check your CalFresh and cash benefit balances,
- See your EBT card use history, and
- Find places to use your EBT card, including surcharge-free* cash locations.
