Can I still use my ebt?

I’m getting spousal and child support right now but it’s hard bc it’s not consistent but also I have to play lawyer fees! I was using ebt before I got the support. It’s still technically not being pulled by force through my husbands job. But when he does pay it’s “over “the amount to qualify for ebt. Sometimes I just really wanna use it. But. I am scared of penalties or something. I am not working right now! I’m a full time momma of a 17 mo old baby. What do u guys think?

Show your support

Call a social worker and talk to them. If it’s not consistent, it’s not consistent and they’ll probably recommend you getting it court ordered. You may still be eligible for a certain amount or they can tell you about resources in your areas

Ok bc I didn’t qualify for WIC! When I brought up the amount of support. We are currently going through court! This month I didn’t get anything, :/

I believe wic has a higher limit than ebt, if it’s still in court, make sure they know that bc then it isn’t a set payment or date, you can still get help until it’s set and depending on what it is, may still get help after.

So the judge said he needs to pay the 1st and 15th. But so far it’s just verbal … so I can possible use my ebt I’m hoping ?

Do you already have an EBT card with money on it?

Yes I do!!! @Roxy

Oh yeah girl you can use it til it’s done! They can’t take back those benefits

Sounds like you might not be able to recertify though

It’s my fault bc I didn’t cancel the card once I started to get the spousal and child support

But definetly don’t mind if I cannot re do it

But omg if I can use it woo hoo!!!!

@Tattiana you’re not supposed to cancel the card, you’re supposed to report income over a certain amount but if your money is inconsistent then use it!

What they’ll do is give you less benefits or none at all if it’s seen as ”enough “ which these days it’s never enough honestly
