"Online purchasing is a potential lifeline for SNAP participants living in urban neighborhoods and rural communities where access to healthy food choices can be limited," USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack said in a statement announcing the new program this week.



"We're looking forward to being able to bring the benefits of the online market to low-income Americans participating in SNAP." Besides Amazon, a few other online businesses have been approved by the feds to accept food stamps online, including Hy-Vee, Hart's Local Grocers, Safeway and ShopRite. The USDA acknowledges however, that "online payment presents technical and security challenges that will need to be examined and fully addressed."

    It marks the latest of many costly experiments by the administration to expand the fraud-infested program, which has seen a record-high number of beneficiaries under President Obama to improve the economy and demonstrate fraud-infestation can be kept to the same percentage as the dollars spent.

    Sounds good !!! just not for the taxpayers.[:D]

    "where access to healthy food choices can be limited,"

    There MAY be some cases where this is a factor but I seriously doubt it's the widespread concern.
    On the other hand, allotments used in this manner aren't getting sold/traded for dope, smokes, or alcohol on the street corner.
