SF 806 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Electronic benefit transfer cards use modification provision

This bill modifies how staff at licensed residential programs (like group homes) can use residents' electronic benefit transfer (EBT) cards for food purchases. Staff must first be listed as an authorized representative of the resident to make such purchases. Residential programs must also maintain a log of all purchases made this way and keep records as required by law. The change directly affects residential programs and their staff handling food benefits for residents.
