Attachment 07 WSEA Waivers.docx

This document is an Attachment 7 detailing WSEA (Western States Electronic Alliance) State Waivers for EBT (Electronic Benefit Transfer) card services across multiple states. The jurisdictions covered include Alaska (AK), Arizona (AZ), Colorado (CO), Guam (GU), Hawaii (HI), Idaho (ID), Nebraska (NE), Washington (WA), and Wyoming (WY). The attachment provides a comprehensive status overview of various state-specific waivers related to EBT card operations and management.

The waivers primarily focus on technical and operational aspects of EBT card systems, including PIN selection methods, point-of-sale (POS) re-installation/de-installation fees, debit adjustment procedures, card replacement policies, and return address configurations. Each state has received approval for multiple waiver types, such as "No Hold" debit adjustments, AVR (Automated Voice Response) PIN selection, and specific card management procedures. The document suggests a standardized yet flexible approach to EBT card administration across these western states, allowing for localized operational modifications while maintaining a consistent overall framework.
