“USDA’s failure to cultivate and approve mobile applications that allow access to farmers’ markets for SNAP recipients is incredibly reckless,” Cuomo wrote.
Additionally, the governor said the agency’s failure to maintain an EBT system for SNAP benefits is the worst of government ineptitude and a rejection of the USDA’s core principles.
Furthermore, Cuomo said the disruption of SNAP transactions at farmers markets is devastating for families. “We simply cannot let this happen,” he told Perdue.
Moreover, he encouraged the USDA to “fix this problem and provide a responsible solution that ensures no disruption” for SNAP beneficiaries and farmers markets.
