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
