benefit card

Government aid credential

A benefit card is a payment card that provides access to government assistance or employer-provided benefits.

Recipients use benefit cards to purchase groceries through food assistance programs, access healthcare funds, or receive other allocated benefits: She swiped her benefit card at the pharmacy.

The card functions like a debit card but draws from a designated benefits account rather than a bank account.
