Should RV parks take cards as payment.

The program also has asset limits. I would like to know how one has an rv and gets it from a to b with assets value less than 3k.

They might as well, as the tourist meccas take them as payment for vacations. Orlando, Miami, Hawaii and Las Vegas have an established track record for accepting out of state SNAP, EBT and other welfare cards as payment for vacations. The whole system is a joke and rampant with fraud.

If it's legal to use the card to pay for housing, then it's probably legal for a campground to accept it for site rent. Particularly in the south, I've seen a number of apparently low income families living long term in TT's, etc., at various campgrounds.

The troll strikes again. Please don't feed the troll. :)

Well said.:) The small corner stores that sell cigarettes and gas are often in the news. They give cash in return for the cards. Often 10-20 cents on the dollar.

I see "no" problem as long as they also have the "10" year old rule. :S

because they are intended to purchase food. I understand there is a list of "food" that they can't be used for, I believe alcoholic beverages is one.

Why not? The drug dealers do.
