How will a customer use the EBT card?
A client (customer) will take their EBT card to an authorized retail food outlet and present it for payment rather than presenting paper food coupons. After the EBT card is swiped through the POS terminal, the customer will enter their Personal Identification Number (PIN). A PIN is used with the EBT card to prevent unauthorized use. The EBT system can not process and approve a transaction without the correct PIN entry.
