EBT cards aren't expected to stop working when SNAP benefits freeze in November.
Why it matters: About 42 million Americans — or around 20 million households — are expected to lose access to their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits next month.
- EBT cards — used by recipients to spend SNAP funds — can still be used if they have leftover funds from previous months, experts said.
- However, experts said that many people spend their benefits during the month they're issued — so this is unlikely to help many.
