NORWALK, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

During a routine test of our back-up systems Saturday morning, Xerox’s Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) system experienced a temporary shutdown. While the system is now up and running, beneficiaries in the 17 affected states continue to experience connectivity issues to access their benefits. This disruption impacts EBT beneficiaries who rely on the system for SNAP and WIC. Technical staff is addressing the issue and expect the system to be restored soon.

I expect the government would be the largest target for identity thefts.

Funny, my cash always seems to work without a hitch, I guess that’s what happens when you work for a living.

Correction: While the system is now up and running, the fat, lazy, goverment teat sucking welfare parasites in the 17 affected states continue to experience connectivity issues accessing your hard earned taxpayer dollars to feed their fat, lazy, government cheese eating ugly faces.

Now that's what I'd call truth in journalism.

Beneficiaries? This is rather misleading.

You know what is odd, they usually do these types of things upgrades, backups etc after midnight.

Correct. This is a cover story for something. Saturday morning would be the last time in the world I’d do any kind of diagnostics or upgrades.

“In order to install the shut-off button at the Offall Office” we had to take down the system for a brief time. Please be patient. Go back to sleep.”

"During a routine test of our back-up systems....."

Since I can't EVER remember anything like this happening before, I struggle in believing this was a "routine" test.

Given the purpose of the system that was being tested why wouldn't that have been done at 3am instead of a Saturday morning when use of the system would be quite high?

I have a deep fear that this so called “glitch” is going to carry over into the coming week.

And then some commie pig associated with the admin will SUGGEST that it isn’t getting fixed because THE PUBBIES SHUT DOWN THE GOBMINT! and it just CAN’T get fixed till the GOBMINT is open for BIDNISS again.

Now, you have a real problem when Holder’s People don’t get their handouts on time.

This is deliberate.

Hope I’m wrong, but this is just TOO damn CONVENIENT.

Stay tuned. (not stuned, and let go yer damn beeber because this is HUGH and vey series.)

Get it up and running so the money can flow from hard-working productive people to democrat voting parasites.

Nonsense. This was a shot across Congresses bow. “Concede to all I have demanded....” said Obama, “.... oh, and I want Amnesty too.”

The mayorette of Baltimore made a statement today that, while not blaming the shutdown, blamed the shutdown.
