Hearing Set for Next Week on Mandatory WIC EBT Bill in California

The Committee on Health in the California Senate will hold a hearing April 11 on a bill that would require California to adopt electronic benefits transfer for its WIC program. Although all states are required by the federal Healthy Kids Act of 2010 to adopt WIC EBT by 2020, the California bill would require adoption of EBT by January 1, 2015.

The bill, sponsored by Sen. Lori Hancock, would extend to July 1, 2013 the deadline for the state to complete its feasibility study on WIC EBT. It would also require the Department of Public Health to report back to the legislature at that time on what electronic card technology option it has chosen for EBT.

The implementation date of January 1, 2015 is contingent on funding, according to the bill.
