Food Stamp EBT.(Federal Register)
Economic Opportunity Report, December, 2005
* Food Stamp EBT: A new USDA final rule revises Food Stamp regulations on standards for approving Electronic Benefits Transfer systems, participation of retail food stores and wholesale food concerns, state agency liabilities and federal sanctions. Effective Jan. 4, the new rules allow USDA to use delivery methods other than certified mail to notify retailers or state agencies of adverse actions; permit USDA to approve other ways of issuing food stamps during disasters; drop the requirement that federal costs for EBT systems cannot exceed the costs of the paper systems they are replacing; and allow group homes and institutions to redeem EBT benefits directly through banks.
