This document is the FNS-EBTS Security Guidelines Handbook, which provides security guidelines for Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) systems used in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), and TANF-State Program Benefits in Texas. The State of Texas, through the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, seeks to procure Texas EBT services from a single qualified contractor to provide these benefit programs to eligible Texas clients. The handbook covers topics such as security controls, risk assessment, disaster recovery, and incident response for EBT systems.

The pricing terms, set-asides, incumbents, funding requirements, and other salient details are not included in this document. This handbook focuses solely on the security guidelines for EBT systems used in the state's benefit programs.
