The EBT card expiration has nothing to do with the benefits you've been given, other than being the way to access them.

Basically, they are a debit card - money is put into the account and as long as the account has money and the card isn't expired (a security thing, just like your debit card from your bank, not a "do you have benefits" thing) you can use the card to pay for whatever expenses.


TBH it is better than the old monopoly money looking food stamps, since they can't be traded/sold and you don't get less than $1 back as actual cash when buying... one of the common things I saw working in a convenience store was someone who would come in and buy a few dozen bananas for 39c/ea ... one at a time.
