MINNEAPOLIS, MN (January 9, 2020) — Solutran today announced it has been selected as the processing agent for the Maine Department of Health and Human Services Women, Infants and Children (WIC) Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) Program. The program implementation will begin in mid-January.
Solutran has successfully served the Maine WIC program since 2010 and will continue serving over 18,000 of the state’s WIC participants with its S3™ WIC EBT system. Solutran’s technology will help alleviate the challenges and inefficiencies of paper vouchers and has a proven track record of providing tremendous improvements in administrative complexities and participant convenience with its online WIC EBT system.
“We are delighted to extend our partnership with Solutran as we transition to online WIC EBT for our participants,” said Ginger Roberts-Scott, Director of Maine Department of Health and Human Services. “Their high level of industry expertise and implementation track record give us the confidence to entrust Solutran for another great success of our WIC program.”
The Maine WIC program will have access to Solutran’s intuitive cardholder portal for easy benefits management. Participants of the program will be provided with the convenience of Solutran’s Bnft® mobile app to view their available balance, find a store, validate WIC allowable products and more.
