Thanks for clearing up those misconceptions. I have seen others on here as well, for example, you cannot withdraw cash from your EBT card.
Not legally, but it happens all the time all over the country anyway.

I don't see how it is physically possible for that to happen. The computers are all hard wired to only accept SNAP for certain foods only. You cannot get cash from a SNAP account because it is not physically possible.
You would have to buy someone else food using your SNAP card and then have them pay you cash for it, and this is explicitly stated to be illegal in the pamphlets they give out.
"Specifically stated as illegal."
And this stops it how?

I'm not sure what else you want to do. It is already illegal and is enforced.

"Pushing out another child"? You think it is that easy? You seriously think a few food stamps is worth carrying a fetus for nine months and responsible for them for the rest of your life is worth that? How rich are you that you have no clue.
