In the State of Colorado, all cash and food assistance benefits are credited to and accessed through an Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) system called the Colorado Quest Card.You will receive a Quest Card when you apply and are approved for benefits. 

A Quest card works like a debit card, and is swiped through a counter-top terminal device at the checkout counter. This card can be used for purchasing groceries and withdrawing cash benefits from automatic teller machines (ATM). Most grocery stores display the QUEST card logo in their window.

Entering your Personal Identification Number (PIN) gives you access to your benefits. Never tell your PIN to anyone!  If someone has your PIN, they can use your card to get access to your benefits, which will not be replaced.

If you loose your Quest Card you can get a replacement card for $2.00 with valid identification.

Benefits are deposited into your EBT account on the same day each month.Use the chart below to determine which day of the month your benefits will be deposited into your account.
