The EBT card is used to control access to EBT benefits in a participant's account when the Card holder enters their Personal Identification Number (PIN). The PIN is a four-digit number known only to the Card holder.
The PI is always the Primary Payee card holder on the EBT case. A maximum of three card holders (the PI Primary Payee and two Alternate Card Holders) may be on a case. Each card holder on an EBT case is issued their own EBT card and has their own PIN. (See
