Section 114-2730 - Food Stamp Issuance

The South Carolina Department of Social Services issues food stamp benefits to eligible households through its Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) system. SCDSS is responsible for the establishment of EBT accounts and transfer of food stamp benefits to the automated EBT system. SCDSS credits EBT accounts based on eligibility data and debits individual EBT accounts based on food purchase transactions performed by eligible households at authorized food retailer sites in the State through an electronic, real time point-of-sale system. SCDSS contracts with a financial services company (EBT Contractor) to provide the majority of the State's EBT Services.
