Update: Xerox Resolves EBT System Outage

NORWALK, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Beneficiary access to programs such as SNAP, TANF, and other programs has been restored to the 17 States where Xerox XRX provides EBT service. Re-starting the EBT system required time to ensure service was back at full functionality. Beneficiaries who required immediate access to their benefits could work with their local merchants who could activate an emergency voucher process where available. We appreciate our clients' patience while we resolved this issue and apologize for any inconvenience. We realize that access to these benefits is important to families in the states we serve. We continue to investigate the cause of the issue so we can take steps to ensure a similar interruption does not re-occur.
