Walmart, who hosted the EBT shopping spree this past weekend after a technical glitch caused Food Stamp recipients’ cards to temporarily become limit-free, are on the hook for all of the food that they attempted to bill to the government/Louisiana tax payers.
The Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) system suffered glitches in Louisiana, causing a community of food stamp recipients to rush to Walmart in order to take advantage of “limitless” spending on their EBT cards, which usually has finite limits, depending on the recipient’s income.
