Welfare Debit Card (ATM) Abuse Used in Casinos and Strip Clubs

Yesterday it was birth control. Today it is casinos and strip clubs American taxpayers should pay for.

Via Denver Post

Debit cards (EBT) issued to provide assistance to welfare recipients were used to withdraw cash at ATMs in strip clubs, casinos, bingo halls and amusement parks.

As a result, more than $1 million in welfare funds goes to ATM owners and banks through transaction fees every year.

While state law bans welfare transactions at liquor stores, casinos and bingo halls, it does not at strip clubs.

Taxpayers also covered the $6.50 ATM fee for each withdrawal.

    NY Welfare Benefits Withdrawn Inside Atlantic City Casinos

    The New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance, which administers Food Stamps, had no official comment, but in the course of the I-team’s reporting, a spokesperson said having unrestricted EBT cards makes sense as the most efficient way to distribute food and cash assistance.

    Aside from casinos, thousands of dollars withdrawn from ATMs at addresses tied to liquor stores and strip clubs. The most popular strip club for ATM withdrawals was a gentleman’s club or strip bar.
