Can one EBT card be used for a whole family?
7 CFR 278.6(b)(1)
We owe loyalty to only you.
When you’re looking online, you have multiple options. There are so many firms advertising SNAP defense. Thankfully, your search is over. Spodek Law Group P.C. offers premier white-glove service and we’re unafraid of fighting. Unlike firms that are more focused on their relationship with the agency than with you, we owe loyalty to only YOU. Your store, your family, your license.
One reason our firm has such a high success rate is that we’re selective about who we work with. If we’re choosing to work with you, it’s because we think we can make a positive impact. That’s vastly different from firms that take on any client willing to pay. When you reach out, you start with a risk-free consultation - and you can ask us anything you want, regardless of how long it takes.
If there’s a way to keep your store in the program, we’ll find it. That’s the whole job.
This is the single most common innocent explanation in the cases we read, and it’s almost never in the file when we arrive.
Why it looks suspicious to a model
One card producing several large transactions a week, or draining an entire monthly balance in one or two swipes, is exactly the signature ALERT associates with trafficking. The system compares your store to peers whose customers shop in smaller household units, and the divergence prints.
What is actually happening
A household of eight or ten shopping on one authorization. Grandparents, parents and children in one apartment. A relative who shops for an elderly neighbour. A family without a car buying what it can carry, three times a week, from the only store on the block. All lawful, all invisible to a comparison engine.
Putting it in the record
Itemized baskets showing family-scale groceries against the flagged amounts. Short signed statements from the households involved describing their size and shopping habits. Neighborhood facts: distance to the nearest supermarket, transit, who your customers are. Those same facts support a hardship argument under 278.6(f) if a term disqualification is on the table.
When the biggest cases break, we get the call. That same team answers your ten days.
When the networks need a federal file explained in plain English, they call us.
This bench answers its own phone. Put it on your case.

Read us the first line of the letter. We’ll tell you what day you’re on.
Bring the envelope, the attachment, and your invoices if you have them. If you don’t have them, bring the letter. The consultation is risk-free, it stays between us, and it happens today - ask us anything, regardless of how long it takes.
