S 7823 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Requires the implementation of an electronic benefit transfer system

This bill directs the state office of social services to establish an electronic benefit transfer system by June 21, 2026. The new system must use standard commercial technology, such as EMV chip cards, to deliver benefits electronically. It also requires the office to upgrade the current electronic system as soon as possible to meet these new standards. This change directly affects recipients of social services benefits by transitioning them from current methods to a modern electronic platform.
