Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) Card

CalFresh and cash aid benefits come on a plastic card that you can use just like a debit or ATM card. It is called an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card.

EBT signs are posted on store doors, in check-out lanes, at automated teller machines (ATM) and point-of-sale (POS) machines tell you if your EBT card can be used at that store or machine.

You can access the EBT Client Website in English and/or Spanish to:

• Check your CalFresh and cash benefit balances,
• See your EBT card use history, and
• Find places to use your EBT card, including surcharge-free* cash locations.
  

You can find stores in San Diego County that accept CalFresh/SNAP EBT cards here: SNAP Retailer Locator.

CalFresh food benefits can also be used to purchase groceries at select SNAP Online Retailers.
