WIC Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT)
Implementation
of WIC Cash Value Voucher (CVV) -- Business Rules, Technical
Considerations and Requirements for Retail Electronic Cash Register and
Point of Sale (ECR/POS) Systems
In December 2007, the WIC Program
published
new rules that allow participants to purchase fruits and vegetables.
FNS sponsored a joint State and industry workgroup to help develop
common business rules and technical requirements for implementation of
an electronic CVV in States where EBT systems operate. The result
of these discussions is this business rules and technical requirements
document which is designed to enable food retail vendor electronic cash
register system developers, food vendors, State agencies and EBT
contractors in updating their systems.
