m) Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) Transaction restrictions: D.C. prevents assistance provided under the TANF program from being used in EBT transactions in liquor stores, casino and adult-oriented entertainment establishments, in which performers disrobe or perform in an unclothed state for entertainment, in the following manner:

• D.C., on an annual basis, sends a notice to all households receiving a TANF benefit, advising them that the use of TANF funds through EBT transactions in liquor stores, casinos, and places for adult entertainment is prohibited. Customers will be advised that conducting one of these prohibited EBT transactions without reporting it to DHS will be viewed as a concealment in violation of the public assistance fraud provisions found at DC Official Code § 4-218-.01(c).
