EBT abusing the system

[synni]

6. ID is not required

I've been on EBT for 25 years, in multiple states. The only identification is your PIN. Your name is NOT printed anywhere on your EBT card, so there is no way to compare names on the card with your photo ID.

Also, when you apply for a card, you CAN apply to allow another person to use your card. (For instance, someone like me, who's disabled, and can't always make it to the supermarket, so you can give written permission for someone else to use the card on your behalf.) That person's name is on file, but it isn't on your card, either. So it wouldn't do any good for a cashier to ask for ID.

And also, SNAP EBT cards can be used in self-checkouts. Again, no ID required.
