Are food stamp cards good in all states of the US and it's territories like Guam or the US Virgin Isles ?

I'm thinking yes because JP Morgan gives out the money.

    I can't say for sure with US territories, but they definitely are good in any state. I live at the confluence of 4 states and folks cross state lines to shop all of the time.

    I live on Guam. We DEFINITELY accept food stamp. In fact, almost everyone I know is on food stamp.

    I don't believe food stamps are any good outside of the state they are issued in.

    food stamps are a state operation and would apply to the state that issues them
