Employment & Family Assistance Services (EFAS) News: EBT Card

• EBT Arrives!
The Electronic Benefit Transfer Program, or EBT, is the distribution of food stamp benefits with a plastic debit card, making the issuance of state public assistance and federal food stamp benefits faster and easier through the use of electronic transactions. By using the EBT card, cardholders can access food benefits at the point-of-sale (POS) terminals of retailers authorized by USDA to accept food stamp benefits. In California, each county has the option of also providing clients with the ability to access cash benefits through ATMs (automated teller machines) and POS terminals.

EBT Access Point Terminals can be found at these locations:
Yokayo Center 737 S State St in Ukiah
Willits Center 221 S. Lenore Ave in Willits
Fort Bragg Office 825 Franklin Street in Fort Bragg
