Oklahoma Administrative Code
Title 340 - Department of Human Services
Chapter 50 - Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program
Subchapter 10 - Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT)
Section 340:50-10-1 - Scope and applicability

(a) Benefit delivery and access. Oklahoma Human Services (OKDHS) uses an online electronic benefit transfer (EBT) system to deliver Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) food benefits. SNAP food benefits are stored in a central computer database and electronically accessed by eligible households at the point of sale via plastic EBT cards, called Access Oklahoma, and personal identification numbers (PIN).

(b) Benefit expungement. OKDHS expunges SNAP food benefits after 274-calendar days of inactivity, per Section 274.2(i) of Title 7 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Inactivity occurs when the household does not take an action that affects the balance of the household's SNAP EBT account within this time period, such as making a purchase or a return. OKDHS provides an expungement notice to the household at least 30-calendar days before expunging the benefit.

(c) Moved to another state. When a household moves to another state and has food benefits remaining in their account, the household must use the food benefits in Oklahoma prior to leaving the state or find a retailer in another state that accepts the Access Oklahoma card. The Access Oklahoma card can be used in most states as most major retailers accept the Access Oklahoma card.
