New era for NMI NAP: Electronic benefit transfer card launch
Nutrition Assistance Program Administrator Margaret Aldan proudly presents the new Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card to members of the media during a press conference late last month — marking a major milestone in the CNMI’s transition to a modern, digital benefits system. Standing beside her are Gov. David M. Apatang, Lt. Gov. Dennis Mendiola, and Department of Community and Cultural Affairs Secretary Frank Rabauliman, who together emphasized the government’s commitment to improving efficiency and security in food assistance delivery.

Secretary Frank Rabauliman looks on as Aldan details how the EBT system replaces traditional paper coupons with reloadable cards — allowing NAP clients to shop more conveniently and safely across participating stores. The launch marks a collaborative effort among local and federal agencies to modernize public service in the Commonwealth.
