The term "EBT dump" is not a standard or official term in the context of Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) systems, but it appears in informal discussions, particularly on platforms like X, to describe a fraudulent or exploitative practice involving EBT cards. Based on the context from posts on X and general knowledge about EBT, an "EBT dump" typically refers to a scheme where individuals sell or trade their EBT benefits (usually SNAP or food benefits) for cash or other non-eligible items at certain stores, often at a steep discount. The store or individual buying the benefits then uses the EBT card to purchase goods, profiting from the difference. This practice is illegal and considered a form of benefit trafficking.
How It Works
Process: A person with an EBT card (loaded with SNAP or cash benefits) sells their card or PIN to a store or individual for cash, typically receiving less than the card’s full value. For example, someone with $600 in SNAP benefits might sell their card for $200 in cash, allowing the buyer to use the remaining $400 in benefits.
Store Role: Certain stores, often small convenience stores or bodegas, may facilitate this by allowing EBT cardholders to make purchases for eligible items (like food) but then provide cash back or non-eligible goods at inflated prices, skimming a portion of the benefits. Some stores may also input transactions fraudulently to disguise the scheme.
Types of Stores Involved
While any store authorized to accept EBT could theoretically be involved, the practice is most commonly associated with:
Small Convenience Stores or Bodegas: These stores may offer inflated prices for basic items or single-unit sales (e.g., individual diapers) to exploit EBT benefits for profit. They might also allow cash transactions under the table.
Non-Chain Retail: Smaller, independently owned stores are more likely to engage in such practices due to less oversight compared to larger chain stores like Walmart or Safeway.
Unauthorized Retailers: Some businesses may not be fully compliant with USDA regulations but still process EBT transactions, engaging in fraudulent activities.
Authorized EBT Stores
For context, legitimate EBT transactions occur at USDA-authorized retailers, which include:
Grocery Stores: Major chains like Walmart, Safeway, Albertsons, and others accept EBT for SNAP-eligible food items (e.g., bread, vegetables, meat, dairy) - dpss.lacounty.gov, calfresh.guide
Farmers’ Markets: Many farmers’ markets are authorized to accept SNAP EBT for fresh produce - farmersmarketlegaltoolkit.org
Online Retailers: Some retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and Instacart allow EBT for online grocery purchases (SNAP benefits only, not cash benefits) - dpss.lacounty.gov, calfresh.guide
Participating Restaurants: In some states, like California, authorized restaurants under the Restaurant Meals Program accept EBT for prepared meals for eligible groups (e.g., elderly, disabled, or homeless) - calfresh.guide
