Summer Electronic
Benefit Transfer for Children (SEBTC)
As part of its efforts to end child
hunger, the United States Department of
Agriculture (USDA) Food and Nutrition
Service (FNS) created the Summer
Electronic Benefits Transfer for
Children (SEBTC) demonstration to study
the use of SNAP and WIC electronic
benefits transfer (EBT) technology in
providing food assistance to low-income
children during the summer by providing
their families with more resources to
use at food stores.
- 2011 Proof of Concept Year:
Small-scale “proof-of-concept”
demonstrations of the EBT-based
approaches began in summer 2011 in
two States for the WIC model
(Michigan and Texas) and three
States for the SNAP model
(Connecticut, Missouri and Oregon).
Each State provided benefits to
2,500 children in summer 2011.
- 2012 Expanded Operations and
New Sites: All five
proof-of-concept States are
increasing operations in summer 2012
to serve 5,000 children in the 2011
demonstration areas. Four of these
States (Connecticut, Missouri,
Oregon, and Michigan) are also
serving an additional 5,000 children
in new parts of their States.
In addition, five new States and
Tribal Organizations will begin
implementing SEBTC projects in 2012
each providing 5,000 children with
benefits: Cherokee Nation (WIC),
Chickasaw Nation (WIC), Nevada
(WIC), Delaware (SNAP), and
Washington (SNAP).
