List of WIC Management Information System support providers and Electronic Benefit Transfer processors. This list will be updated quarterly.
This memorandum replaces the WIC Informational Memorandum dated Aug. 10, 2022. In particular, the USDA FNS State Systems Office (SSO) has revised the section titled Threshold for FNS Review of EBT Projects after Statewide EBT. Handbook 901 will be updated to reflect this revised guidance.
The System Integrity Review Tool is a valuable instrument for both state agency and federal SNAP staff to evaluate whether a system meets SNAP functional requirements.
State agencies are encouraged to use this as a guidance when planning information systems.
The WIC Post-Implementation Review Tool consists of two parts: the review tool itself and a functional area spreadsheet.
Information systems in WIC support a number of program operations and management functions, such as certifying applicants, monitoring food vendors, tracking participation and expenditures and managing appointments. The Functional Requirements Document for a Model WIC System (FRED) provides a comprehensive description of functions that can be automated to support the WIC program.
The primary purpose of the rule was to strengthen the requirements for adequate testing and pilot before rolling out a new management information system or major system changes. The rule also made changes to the SNAP regulations to provide clarifications and revisions since the last update which occurred in 1996.
