Overview
The Ohio WIC Program is building a solution to replace the current paper-based food benefit issuance and redemption processes used today.​ The new solution is referred to as Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT).​ This solution uses a smartcard to store and retrieve benefit information that participants can use in grocery stores in the State of Ohio to purchase prescribed foods.​ Grocers can receive payment for these items through an electronic submission process that is more efficient and cost effective than the current paper-based process.​
The staff working on this project will be assigned tasks to create the solutions that manages these benefits in the WIC Clinics and manages the benefit issuance and redemptions processes at ODH.​ The primary application has a web-based frontend with SQL backend processing.​
