To use the card, you will need to select a secret PIN (Personal Identification Number) which will be explained to you by the local worker.
If you qualify for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits at Sam’s Club, you can use your card to:

Check Your EBT Card Balance

What you should be aware of before redeeming your food stamp benefits at Trader Joe’s is your current EBT card balance.
Not having enough money on your EBT card could be bad for you especially if the transaction is larger than the available EBT card balance.
This usually results in your transaction not being processed. You have to pay an extra difference with another form of payment such as cash or credit as discussed above.
