EBT-card abuse is not only a problem among individuals, but it can also be perpetrated by companies as well.

In this case in Florida, a family business was trading food stamp credit for money.

The Electronic Benefit Transfer card (EBT) has not prevented this aspect, and has only allowed a more high-tech illegality. In the beginnings of the food stamp program, people were trading tangible "stamps," now they have adapted to the trade of currency for the credit on the EBT card.
