All the ones I've used give out $20's only.

Under the new rule, a three-person family receiving the maximum benefit would have to go to the ATM more than a dozen times to get the full benefit, which would be whittled away by an 85 cent fee for each withdrawal after the first one. And the local cruise liner ATM will no longer be an option.

There's another way that really poor people get ripped off.
Fees.
85 cents a pop, for every $25 buck transaction?
That's 3.4%.
Somebody's making money off of that.
And I wouldn't be surprised if those same somebody's lobbied for this legislation.
