Description Food stamps are benefits you use when you shop for food. You use a Vermont Express electronic benefit transfer (EBT) card to spend your food stamps. You can use a Vermont Express card at most stores that sell food. You use food stamp benefits -- in addition to other food money-- to buy more and better food. If you are 65 or older or have a disability, you may be able to get your benefits deposited directly into your bank account. If you do not have a bank account, you can use food stamp benefits on a Vermont Express card like cash. Managing organization Vermont http://www.vermont.gov Program contact information & web resources In Vermont you get food stamps through the Department of Prevention, Assistance, Transition, and Health Access (PATH).
