New Welfare Card Aims to End Food Stamp Cash Trade
Palumbo explains that each welfare recipient will get a four digit PIN for both cash and food accounts. The card prevents loss or theft of benefits and allows cash via ATM or POS, while food stamp cash access remains impossible. The system should reduce stigma and discrimination against users.
