Title: ●Enhancing Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) Card Security Measures | |
Abstract:
This proposed rule implements Division HH, Title IV, section 501(a)(3) of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023. Under section 501(a)(2), the Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) is instructed to promulgate regulations through the notice and comment process that require State agencies to implement new card security measures to protect against card skimming, card cloning, and other similar fraudulent means. FNS hosted 16 roundtable sessions over the past year with stakeholders and discussed the current and futures states for EBT operations, with a focus on adding a micro-processing chip to an EBT card. Attendees include State agencies, EBT processors, retailers, advocates, and financial payment processors. FNS anticipates this rule having a substantial impact on State agencies, EBT processors, and retailers, because they will largely be responsible for the development and implementation of new security measures. |
