Abstract
A card containing encoded information identifying a cardholder is used to manage distribution and use of benefits, such as food stamp programs. Filters may be associated with the use of the card, and enforced during checkout of a food store. As items are scanned in the store, the filters may be used to track and indicate which items may be paid for with food stamp benefits, and an account associated with the card may be debited for such purchases. Rejected items may be paid for separately by the cardholder or returned without purchase.
