How does nutrition assistance aka food stamps work?

Q. I live in Arizona and the unemployment rate here is $240.00 before federal and state taxes. You are then left with $214.00. I was wondering how does nutrition assistance aka food stamps work? Do you receive a check, or a debit card?

A. The first thing you should do is go to the website, and use the screening tool to see if you might qualify: https://www.azdes.gov/variant.aspx?id=5199

You can view the formula for eligibility requirements by visiting: https://www.azdes.gov/main.aspx?menu=355&id=5202

You receive a card that contains your nutrition assistance on it. The card works like an ATM or Debit card at grocery stores and other places where EBT is accepted. The card is a QUEST Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card that is issued to the receiptant by JP Morgan. Sometimes they send you a card, and then later you learn that you are ineligible, it's the way their system works.
