👆 when you use an EBT card, the cashier (or the card machine) sees your remaining SNAP (food) balance because it's printed on the receipt and displayed during the transaction to confirm funds, but they don't see your detailed account history or cash balance unless you use a combined card where you select the account type. The terminal shows the SNAP balance to ensure you have enough for eligible items, and you select whether to use SNAP or Cash benefits before entering your PIN, according to the USDA Food and Nutrition Service.
