EBT Card Responsibility and Liability
2 rules
Local offices shall be liable to USDA/FNS for the face value of EBT card loss that occurs because of thefts, embezzlements, and cashier error, unless the investigation was reported directly to USDA/FNS prior to the loss and unexplained causes. The local offices shall not be liable for the value of EBT cards issued for those duplicate issuances in the correct amount that are the result of authorized replacement issuances.
