SNAP retailers must provide receipts at checkout for SNAP Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) transactions.
The receipt must include:
- Store name
- Store address
- Remaining SNAP EBT account balance or, if required by your state, an insufficient funds message
- Transaction type
- Transaction amount
- Date of transaction
- SNAP customer’s abbreviated EBT card number
SNAP retailers must not:
- Collect, possess, maintain, log, or track EBT Card numbers in whole or in part, for any reason.
- Print the SNAP customer’s name on the receipt.
- Print the full EBT card primary account number (PAN) on the receipt.
SNAP retailers are responsible for ensuring point-of-sale (POS) terminals are programmed correctly. Make sure that your POS can process SNAP EBT transactions including performing refunds, key-entered transactions, SNAP balance inquiries, and voiding latest transaction.
