Abstract
A system for processing a supplemental nutrition assistance program (SNAP) may include a point-of-sale (POS) terminal and a SNAP administration server coupled to the POS terminal. The SNAP administration server may store SNAP eligible products, and store SNAP payment wallets each associated with a SNAP user and each having an associated credit value to be used toward purchase of the SNAP eligible products. The SNAP administration server may also store SNAP coupon wallets each associated with the SNAP user and each having an associated digital coupon value to be used toward the purchase of SNAP eligible products. The SNAP administration server may further determine whether products being purchased match the SNAP eligible products and, for each matching product, apply the associated digital coupon value and apply the associated credit value toward the purchase at the POS terminal.
