In West Virginia, the EBT card is also called the West Virginia Mountain State Card. This card can be used as a credit or debit card at a point of sale device to purchase qualifying food items at any participating store or farmers market.
Cash recipients may also use their West Virginia Mountain State Card at retailers for food purchases and get cash back with the purchase or withdraw funds from an ATM. There’s no charge to use the card to purchase food. At ATMs and/or point of sale machines with the “Quest” logo, the first three cash withdrawals each month are free. For each one after, a $1 fee is taken out of your WV WORKS account. Bank surcharges for using ATMs may also be taken from your account.
The amount of SNAP benefits is determined by household size and countable income after all deductions are applied.
Households with an elderly or disabled resident are generally given special consideration. West Virginia also has a higher asset limit and no gross income test in such cases. In said cases, more “excess shelter/utility costs” can also be deducted, as can medical expenses over $35 per month.
