Is it true that SNAP provides debit cards for food purchases?
Unclear. Two sources describe SNAP benefits as delivered through electronic benefit cards that are used like debit cards to buy food, and one truncated reference fragment links SNAP to debit cards for food purchases. None states flatly that SNAP issues actual debit cards, so the evidence only partially covers the claim.
