6 Things You Need to Know about West Virginia EBT

• Apply for West Virginia EBT online on the government website. This is the fastest and easiest way to apply for food benefits.
• Did you know you can buy this?! You can buy seeds and produce-bearing plants with your Indiana food stamps card! You can also buy certain gift baskets and birthday cakes.
• Did you know you can shop here?! Did you know that Costco, farmer’s markets and even you-pick strawberry fields can accept EBT benefits? Some retailers even give you discounts or free stuff if you shop there with your food stamps card!
• Buy gift baskets and more! No joke – this is all part of the actual federal food stamps law. Here’s a list of unexpected things you can actually buy with your food stamps funds.
• You could qualify for more food stamps funds! Groceries are expensive. It’s tough to make ends meet when you have, on average, $1.40 per meal. That’s why we dug into the law to find ways that our readers could legally get more food stamps funds. We found way more than we expected!
• You can even get cash back from your food stamps card! It’s true and it’s legal – no cash benefits required. One of our readers earned an additional $437.84 just by shopping with her food stamps card. She uses that extra money to buy diapers and other essentials.
