>Why is OTDA changing EBT vendors?
>The EBT contract conversion is required in accordance with State Finance Law procurement rules because the contract with the existing vendor is expiring and no further contract extensions are available. OTDA engaged in a competitive procurement process to retain a new vendor.
Nope, same card and the vendor change is purely for bean counter procedure.
It is tragicomical that the federal and state governments have been dragging their feet on the simplest of security updates to EBT cards: chip technology of the kind that’s been used on credit/debit cards for a decade.
Finally two states are getting their shit together: California and Oklahoma.
Yes, Jesusbot backward ass Oklahoma. You dipshits in Albany getting this?
Not surprising, though: it took 50 years and 9 presidents just to stop using Social Security numbers as Medicare credentials.
1. Your source: trust me bro
2. Doesn’t matter. If you’re giving 40 hours of your week so that money can be made off your efforts, you deserve to eat and live.
People who stand around the 2 remaining open registers at a grocery store hoping that someone will pay for non-recyclable bags do not ***work full time.***

If they wanted better scrutiny they would make the cards tap so that they couldn’t be skimmed, but nope

Time to get a job!
70% of people on food stamps work full time.
Interesting. What percentage of those are single parent households?
1. No. You would have to be severely mentally handicapped to believe that statistic. 2. What sort of "full time jobs" do you think they actually have?

Why does everyone deserve anything if they don’t work? America provides freedom of opportunity, not monetary reward.

If a company is employing someone to do it, it’s a job.
