I worked in a Grocery store for over 20 years...WIC is not abused...EBT used to be when they gave you EBT cash. People would trade it for other things to people who weren't in the system.

Now its a card, they have to show their ID card that shows they are the person receiving the food...

They get X amount per month and can buy what they want, deli items. aren't permitted.

If they want a bunch of expensive steak, sure they can, but it takes a big chunk of the money..
