You’ll receive many benefits from DCF's Economic Services Division on the Vermont EBT card. This includes 3SquaresVT, Emergency Assistance, Essential Person, and Reach Up.
How It Works
- We send you an EBT card.
- You select a 4-digit Personal Identification Number (PIN) that you’ll need every time you use your card.
- Your benefits are added to your card on the same date each month depending on the program — even if it falls on a weekend or holiday.
- When you use your card to buy goods or get cash, your account balance decreases accordingly.
Where You Can Use It
Y
ou may use your EBT Card at participating stores, ATMs, farmers’ markets, and anywhere you see the QUEST® logo.
