Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program: Electronic Benefits Transfer Card Security Measures
The Food and Nutrition Administration (FNA or the Agency), an agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA or the Department), is issuing a rule proposing changes to Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, the Program) regulations to modernize Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) technology and align EBT with consumer payment processing industry standards, improving both Program integrity and convenience for SNAP clients.
