STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA FFY 2024 STATE PLAN FOR TEMPORARY ASSISTANCE FOR NEEDY FAMILIES

West Virginia EBT cardholders can use any QUEST trademarked ATM or JPMorgan Chase ATM with no surcharge. The QUEST network provides West Virginia EBT Cardholders with access to ATMs throughout the state. When the Cardholder uses this service, it will significantly reduce the cost of accessing cash benefits as well as the cost of using valuable benefit dollars to cover unnecessary transaction fees. Cardholders can locate QUEST and JPMorgan Chase ATMs through online resources such as: ATM locator site, ATM maps, etc. Additionally, some stores will provide cash back on purchases providing another option for accessing cash without fees. Since there are multiple QUEST ATM locations, cardholders find cash access flexible.
