How much can I get?The benefits you may receive will depend on your household size, income, and expenses.

Click here to see what those income limits are now. How does the monthly payment work?If you get a monthly payment, you will receive an EBT card called Vermont Express. You can use this card to buy food at most stores that sell food, much the same way you would use a bankcard or credit card.
