  An Access Oklahoma electronic benefit transfer (EBT) card is issued to the payee of the eligible household.

(2)   select a personal identification number in the county office or by calling the number on the back of the EBT card.

(b)   An EBT card is considered an initial card, when a:

(1)   client applies for SNAP benefits for the first time;

(2)   client is given a new case number;

(3)   change in payee or authorized representative occurs; or

(4)   payee or authorized representative makes a new application and never had an initial EBT card printed.
