Daily News | SNAP, EBT card system outage strikes Pennsylvania
An unknown technical glitch has left upwards of 1.8 million Pennsylvanians locked out of nutrition benefit programs – and officials are still at a loss to explain why, as similar outages grip other states.
A spokesperson for the Pa. Department of Human Services, which administers the SNAP program throughout the commonwealth, said the office was aware of the outages, but not the cause and declined further comment.Ellen Vollinger, legal director at the anti-poverty nonprofit Food Research & Action Center in Washington D.C., said the outage would leave some with no way to buy essential groceries.
Linda Kilby, administrator of Philadelphia WIC, which provides additional nutrition benefits for caregivers and children, said Sunday that the outage had also affected access to WIC benefits.“The system has been up and down, up and down,” she said.
