South Dakota Program Description

The Food Stamp Program helps low income South Dakotans buy the food they need to stay healthy while they work to regain financial independence. Food stamp benefits are provided to supplement the recipients food budget. The amount of benefits a household receives is based on its size and income.

In South Dakota during July 2002, 47,700 people (18,400 households) received $3.6 million in food stamp benefits. The average monthly benefit was $75 per person or $200 per household.

Food stamp recipients are given a plastic debit card (Dakota EBT Card) instead of paper coupons. The store cashier runs the debit card through a point-of-sale device to subtract the recipient's purchase amount from their allotted benefits. Using the card is much faster and easier than using paper coupons and eliminates loss or theft of food stamps.

South Dakota's Food Stamp Program operates under the requirements of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
