Grant Description: In accordance with Public Law 110-161, the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) plans to award grant funds to WIC State agencies to support WIC Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) planning activities. This Request for Application (RFA) for EBT Planning Grants is open to all WIC State agencies, including State agencies with existing WIC EBT projects. Grant funds are limited and will be awarded on a competitive basis, pending the availability of funds.
