What is a Link card?

Posted by Andersonville Farmers Market

  • In case you’re wondering what a Link card is, here’s some information from the Illinois Dept. of Human Services:

    Anyone approved to receive cash assistance or SNAP (Food Stamps) benefits will be issued an Illinois Link card. The Illinois Link card is a plastic card that looks and works like a debit card. If you are eligible for cash and SNAP benefits, you will access both with the same card.
