Horizon Card - Food Stamps 

You can use your Horizon card like a debit card at most stores that sell food.

• Once the cashier has totaled the items you can buy with the Horizon card, you will pass your Horizon card through a point-of-sale (POS)
  machine in the checkout line and enter your PIN.
• The cost of the items you buy will be subtracted from the amount in your food stamp EBT account.
• Once the sale is complete, you will receive a receipt that shows the amount of your purchase and the amount of money that is left in your EBT account.
• You should keep these receipts so you know how much of the food stamp money remains in your EBT account each time you go to the store.
• You should also keep these receipts as your record of food stamp purchases in case there are problems or questions with your account.

• A - G available on the 5th
• H - O available on the 11th
• P - Z available on the 15th
