Requires the implementation of an electronic benefit transfer system

S 1465 requires New York's social services office to implement an electronic benefit transfer (EBT) system using standard commercial technology, including EMV chip cards, by June 21, 2027. The bill mandates the use of industry-standard electronic funds transfer technology for distributing benefits, with upgrades to the system required as soon as practicable after implementation. This change directly affects social services recipients who receive benefits through the state's current system, transitioning them to a more secure digital platform. The bill focuses on concrete infrastructure changes, not outcomes or policy debates.
