>>668045>The EBT system checks whether you have a card alreadyI've had a card from OR and WA at the same time before. They ask on the application if you're currently getting EBT from another state so I lied. I was trying to get a Cali EBT too at the same time, but you have to go in and take some class or some bullshit because it's an epidemic down there so I held off. Can't say if they have updated their interstate communication systems in the past few years but the websites still look the same.
>leaving food in hiker boxesYeah I've read they have those food caches where you can take some stuff or leave some stuff. Some people apparently go for hundreds of miles on food from those boxes alone.
>>668096Girlfriend and I split up, lost my job, and my car broke down all in the same week. I didn't have any family to fall back on either.
