This grant, offered by the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), is for WIC State agencies to support their Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) project implementation activities. The primary purpose is to assist qualified WIC State agencies in adopting EBT systems and preparing to meet the federal mandate requiring all WIC State agencies to be EBT statewide by 2020. Funds will be awarded competitively, contingent upon availability, with FNS anticipating up to $10 million for these activities. This RFA is open to agencies that have completed or are completing EBT planning requirements. Applications may also be considered for funding in subsequent fiscal years, subject to funding availability. The grant aims to streamline benefit distribution for WIC participants nationwide.
