Requiring user photo on EBT cards

Senate Bill 80 requires all new West Virginia EBT cards issued after June 1, 2026, to include a photograph of the cardholder. This applies directly to individuals receiving food assistance benefits through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The bill mandates this photo requirement to help prevent fraud by verifying cardholder identity, as stated in the bill's purpose. It does not change eligibility rules but adds a visual authentication step for EBT cardholders.
