What is SEMTAC?

SEMTAC – the SNAP EBT Modernization Technical Assistance Center – is a cooperative grant project between USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service, which administers SNAP, and the National Grocer’s Association Foundation. This Technical Assistance Center was created to help provide information and technical assistance to retailers who are interested or currently in the process of enrolling into the USDA’s SNAP Online Purchasing Pilot. Navigating online and eCommerce technology can be difficult for retailers who are less acquainted with the industry or have trouble navigating what needs to be accomplished to implement this program. SEMTAC provides retailers with USDA approved resources and one-on-one technical assistance with industry experts to help retailers with needed steps to establish their own SNAP Online supported eCommerce sites.

SEMTAC will also provide updates and technical assistance on additional SNAP EBT Modernization Programs, like SNAP Mobile Payments Pilot, as programs continue to develop and are ready to expand to additional regions.
