Trump wants to start charging stores to accept food stamps


Recommended Posts

Government agencies charge all sorts of fees to businesses, I’m kinda surprised they didn’t already charge businesses to access all that SNAP money.

Does snap use the same payment system as Visa/MC/amex who charge merchant fees? That's the comparison I'm getting here, with minimal investigation on my part.

I think each state has their own flavor of the EBT system for the payment network, but it largely functions the same as the credit card networks. I’m not sure if the stores already pay some network fee for each transaction and this is an extra fee on top of that.
