These cards can only be used with a personal identification number (PIN) that is kept secret, as per the Virginia Commonwealth website.
Applicants must meet specific bank balance requirements and reside in the state where they apply to be eligible for this benefit program. A higher bank balance cap may apply to households with elderly (over 60) or disabled residents.
