Food stamps (SNAP benefits) are being distributed to thousands of recipients across Texas until February 28. And they receive their money in the form of a Lone Star Card, which is essentially Texas’s version of food stamps (SNAP) or cash assistance.
Consider it a debit card, but instead of your paycheck, it’s loaded with cash to help you shop for necessities. Cool, right? Simply swipe it anywhere that accepts EBT, and you’re set. Oh, and when your application is approved, you will receive this shiny card.
Getting the card is easy-peasy: claim your Lone Star Card
