Accessing the funds on your Colorado EBT card is straightforward and provides you with a convenient way to pay for eligible food items. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to get cash from your EBT card in Colorado, along with answers to frequently asked questions.
Understanding Your Colorado EBT Card
Your EBT card, often referred to as a “Quest card” in Colorado, acts like a debit card, allowing you to make purchases at authorized retailers. While primarily used for food benefits through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), your EBT card can also hold cash benefits if you qualify for the Colorado Works program, which offers temporary financial assistance.
Withdrawing Cash from Your Colorado EBT Card
If you have cash benefits on your Colorado EBT card, you can withdraw them from ATMs that display the Quest logo. These ATMs are typically found at banks, credit unions, and select retail locations. To withdraw cash:
- Insert your EBT card: Slide your card into the ATM following the directional arrow.
- Enter your PIN: Input your four-digit PIN.
- Select “Cash Withdrawal” or “Withdrawal”: Choose the appropriate option from the ATM menu.
- Choose the account: If prompted, select the account associated with your cash benefits.
- Enter the withdrawal amount: Key in the amount of cash you want to withdraw.
- Confirm the transaction: Review the details and confirm the withdrawal.
- Collect your cash and receipt: Wait for the ATM to dispense your cash and always remember to take your receipt.
