Here in Canada the government tried vouchers for food, but drug addicts desperate for cash were selling them cheaply. The government has tried a system that seems to work better. They use a pre-loaded debit card (similar to a credit card). They can use to buy things, but they can never extract cash from it, and the card is non-transferable. That has stopped some of the cheating and wasting of state funds. It is not perfect, but it seems the best solution so far.
