FOOD AND NUTRITION SERVICES CERTIFICATION CLAIMS Requirements for Establishing Recipient Claims ____________________________________________________________________________________

9 Section 805 Change #1-2017 April 1, 2017

g. Explosives; or

h. the purchase of any non-food items.

4. Trade or sell or the attempt to trade or sell FNS EBT benefits online or in person.

5. Misuse of an EBT card, such as:

a. Use of an EBT card to pay on a credit/charge account regardless of the items that were charged.

b. Allow someone else to use their EBT card or FNS benefits. Intent determines whether a claim is an IPV or an IHE.

NOTE: If a recipient sells or trades his EBT card or benefits to another, an IPV claim must be established against this person that bought or traded the benefits. If that person is receiving or received FNS benefits, then a disqualification must also be imposed against this person also.

EXAMPLE: An individual sells $500 worth of his EBT benefits to another FNS recipient. Establish an IPV for $500 against the recipient and impose a disqualification. Establish a separate IPV claim for $500 against the other recipient and impose a disqualification. A total of $1,000.00 will be collected for this IPV, even though only $500.00 was actually used.

6. Trafficking FNS benefits. Trafficking is defined as buying or selling EBT cards or FNS benefits for cash or consideration other than eligible food; or the attempt to buy or sell FNS benefits online and in public; or the exchange of benefits for firearms, ammunition, explosives or controlled substances; or the reselling of food purchased with FNS benefits; or the purchasing of a product with FNS benefits that has a container requiring a return deposit with the intent of obtaining cash by discarding the product and returning the container for the deposit amount. A claim can be established whether or not the retailer is involved. Establish the claim for the amount that was actually trafficked.

A. Individuals who attempt to sell or trade their FNS benefits/cards for cash or items not allowed by USDA regulations are guilty of an Intentional Program Violation. Pursue IPV disqualification when there is evidence of the attempt to traffick or trade their FNS benefits. Following are some examples of the attempt to sell or trade FNS benefits/cards. This list is not inclusive:

1. FNS benefits/cards are offered for sale online through websites and social media such as craigslist, Facebook, Twitter, eBay, etc.
