Cash EBT Transactions
All transactions that are not food stamp transactions are processed as Cash EBT
transactions. These Cash EBT transactions are very similar to debit transactions because
customers can receive cash back from transactions.
As with credit card processing, gift card processing is a two-step process. As with every
Host-based System, you may have the ability to be set up for either Auto (Time Initiated)
Close or Manual Close. Consult your merchant services provider to see what method is
available and what method best suits your needs.
There are four types of cash transactions:
1. Withdrawal -- This action decreases the cardholder's limit to buy. It authorizes a
transfer of funds from the EBT cardholder's account to your account, allowing you to
then disperse cash to the cardholder.
2. Purchase/Sale -- This action decreases the cardholder's limit to buy. It authorizes a
transfer of funds from the EBT cardholder's account to your account.
3. Post -- This action makes an approved Voice Authorization transaction available for
re-transmission.
4. Void -- This action removes a withdrawal transaction from the re-transmission
information. It deletes that transaction. The funds from this transaction will then not be
transferred into your account. Use the Void action to correct mistakes and on same
day returns. This action has to be performed on the same day.
