Collecting Debit Card Information in Wisconsin

There are no specific requirements mentioned for collecting debit card information from participants in Wisconsin [1.1]. However, there are regulations regarding credit card identification information [2.1]. A merchant may not record a customer’s address, telephone number, or any other identification information as a condition for accepting a credit card as payment for a consumer credit transaction, except under certain conditions [2.1].

Regarding debit or credit card payments, if the department permits the payment of a fee by use of a debit or credit card, the department may charge a service charge for each transaction in addition to the fee being paid [4.1]. If a registrant pays a fee required under this chapter by check or by debit or credit card and the check is not paid by the financial institution upon which the check is drawn or if the demand for payment under the debit or credit card transaction is not paid by the financial institution upon which demand is made, the department may cancel the registration after 60 days after the department receives a notice of nonpayment from the financial institution, subject to certain conditions [4.1].

EBT Card Information

When a food stamp group has been determined eligible for food stamps at the economic support agency, the department shall provide an EBT card which allows the food stamp group to access food stamp benefits in its EBT account [3.1]. The EBT card shall physically resemble a financial transaction card similar to a debit card and shall contain a primary account number (PAN) and the address of the office where it can be returned if found or no longer in use [3.1].

EBT card and PIN security is also regulated [3.2]. The recipient is responsible for protecting the security of his or her EBT card and PIN. Benefits will not be replaced if they are lost or stolen after the recipient gives the card and PIN to another person. The recipient shall report a lost or stolen card or compromised PIN to recipient customer service. When the recipient reports one of these events, the EBT vendor shall immediately disable card access to the food stamp account [3.2].

Based on the documents provided, there are no specific requirements mentioned for collecting debit card information from participants in Wisconsin.
