Small grocery stores that accept SNAP online or offer delivery would face new compliance burdens, including meeting cybersecurity standards and filing reports. Stores that cannot afford to upgrade their digital infrastructure or delivery operations risk losing their SNAP authorization entirely, which could hurt their revenue. Larger retailers may absorb these costs more easily, giving them a competitive edge.
“the Secretary shall promulgate regulations that require a retail food store or wholesale food concern seeking authorization under this section to accept and redeem benefits under the supplemental nutrition assistance program to submit to the Secretary a report describing compliance with the standards established under paragraph (1).”
