ROANOKE, Va. (WDBJ) The contractor that maintains EBT services for Virginia's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is experiencing multi-state service problems.
This has resulted in an EBT System outage.
It is unknown when the system will be restored.
SNAP clients can call (866) 281-2448 to check on the status of the system restoration. Clients can also call 2-1-1 to learn of food resources that might be available to supplement their needs during the temporary outage. Also, clients can call the Enterprise Customer Service Center at (855) 635-4370 with any additional questions related to their benefits.

Yep. All those urban cesspools have lost connection with the EBT network. We used Down Detector a lot in my previous job. Could be a DDoS attack.
So many people on these programs are very fat slobs. They could go for quite a while without food. However, they might miss the money they get from fraudulent “sales”.
Oh man that’s brilliant.

HMMMM, seems mighty conveniently timed.........
Very conveniently timed—and right before the weekend too ;(
[ to learn of food resources that might be available to supplement their needs during the temporary outage. ]
Another reason prepping is good. If one can.
Do you or does anyone know what is considered normal? I.E. are there normally outages like this—or is this an anomaly...a big deal?
LOL!
2400 comments ....This EBT failure is a test run.
Low profile tires, natch.
When this recently happened in AZ, hundreds of customers in Wal Mart (where I shop) abandoned full carts of groceries, got mad and walked out. The store had to throw a lot of perishable food away. Hubby and I asked a store manager about what was going on. She said 80 percent of that store’s customers are on EBT, food stamps. I was very surprised because the abandoned carts were stuffed with steaks, chips, sodas, bottled water, ice cream-—lots of food that’s quite expensive and not very nutritional. The EBT system was only down for about 5 hours, but the local fake news made it sound like it was a massive catastrophe with zillions of “victims.”
Sorry but this going all the way across the country in the largest cities is no way a coincidence....
It stinks of a Deep State psy-op to distract, turn up the heat and then the Fake Stream News will blame President Trump.
Yes Freepers the #NeverTrumpers are still trying to overturn the election from 9 months ago.
They can’t believe they lost their rigged election!
The only reason they lost their rigged election is because their was a landslide to President Trump.
Hillary could not even get 200 people at her biggest events across the country while President Trump had thousands every rally.
They could not stop it no matter how many votes/elections they stole by voting multiple times, dead voters and throwing out ballots.
Project Veritas and the Wikileaks showed us this.
This has been discussed before as something that would cause rioting and add to an already precarious situation.
Not an accident IMHO,
Soooo true. I prefer Goo Goo Clusters. ;)
Combine it with a national holiday just for cops.
......and put on your $400 Air Jordan tennis shoes.
It’s has happened in one geographic area, and was limited. For the most part in tiny areas and that’s it.
I’ve never this large across the country. The timing is quite remarkable.
I would not be surprised in the least.
Yep. And GUESS WHO will be blamed?
Agree...
It smells of a Deep State ops.
