FNS Documents & Resources

FNS is releasing new guidance today to assist states in the development of Pandemic EBT (P-EBT) plans for the summer of 2023. The guidance consists of a Q&A document and a summer P-EBT plan template.

The FNS State Systems team has produced a series of training presentations designed to help state agencies understand and comply with the FNS approval process. These eight on-line presentations correspond to FNS Handbook 901, with information on the key documents or phases in the process.

WIC EBT activities

USDA is committed to providing nutrition assistance to hard-hit families across the country due to the coronavirus pandemic. In support of President Biden’s call to action on hunger, USDA announced that it is increasing the Pandemic EBT benefit by approximately 15 percent, providing more money for low-income families and millions of children missing meals due to school and child care closures.

This document provides information to states to assist in the development of state plans to operate Pandemic EBT for school children and children in child care.

This memo transmits the requirements for a state agency seeking to implement EBT/CVB at WIC-authorized Farmers and Farmers' Markets.

This check list provides a list of questions and items to be validated during the review.

The purpose of this memorandum is to transmit guidance regarding the sale of, or intent to sell, Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children foods, benefits and/or EBT cards verbally, in print or online through websites such as Craigslist, Facebook, Twitter, eBay, etc.

This paper outlines many of the considerations state agencies would need to examine to implement a 'One Card' EBT solution.

The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 includes several provisions related to Electronic Benefit Transfer  in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children.
