I have been a checker more than 30 years in three different states. Wic vouchers were the only thing I was required to fill out and that was only the authorized product.
Idaho may have been different but EBT cards can be used acrossed state lines and do not require the checker to ask for ID. In fact it is an invasion of privacy to do so. It is no different than using a debit card. As long as the correct pin is used it is not my job to ask for ID. To do so further stigmatizes those that need food assistance.
