PA EBT Card Updtes
PA is issuing new SNAP EBT cards; they are telling retailers that POS devices must be updated to successfully read the devices. Per the instructions provided: Will not work at retailer point-of-sale (POS) without the appropriate updates.
Will have a magnetic stripe and retailers must ensure that their POS system allows for SNAP EBT chip cards to “fallback” to magnetic stripe until SNAP EBT chip cards are fully supported on their POS device(s)/system. This is referred to as Empty Candidate List (ECL)fallback.
When I inquired with Clover Chat and then a human representative, I was told this was not an option yet and to post the suggestion here that units needed to be updated.
