Scanner Capability Assessment of SNAP-Authorized Small Retailers (SCANR) Study
OMB 0584-0634 · USDA/FNS.
OMB 0584-0634
The Farm Bill requires all authorized Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) retailers to use scanning technologies to redeem SNAP benefits, unless the retailers are located in a geographic region that has severe food access limitations. This is due to the concern that participants may use their EBT cards for noneligible items. This study will provide understanding of which small retailers participating in SNAP are able to meet the 2014 Farm Bill requirement. Over the past 18 years, technologies and scanning equipment have evolved, yet some small retailers still do not use an automated scanning technology. FNS requires an updated study to determine the number of small retailers that do not have scanning capabilities that can identify SNAP-eligible food items and the reasons for not adopting scanning technologies.
