Mobile Payment Pilot
The Agricultural Act of 2018 (PL 115–334) authorizes the use of mobile technologies for the purpose of accessing SNAP benefits for payment at the point-of-sale. This will allow SNAP participants to input their Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card into a mobile device and make SNAP purchases at the point-of-sale without the presence of the EBT card. The Act requires that FNS approve not more than five projects to pilot the use of this technology and then determine if mobile technology should be authorized nationwide.
The Mobile Payment Pilot Request for Volunteers (RFV) is coming soon and will be published on this page at that time.
