Xerox Corporation ( XRX ) has been on a deal-signing spree of late. After entering into an alliance with CHOICE Administrators Exchange Solutions for delivering cloud-based Health Insurance Exchange ( HIX ) solutions and renewing its deal with New Mexico's Human Services Department last month, the company has now recorded yet another contract win. The company will now provide electronic benefit transfer (:EBT) services to the state of Illinois for distributing benefits for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (:SNAP) along with providing cash assistance on a refillable card, which can be used for making purchases at certified retailers and ATMs. The contract, which has a five-year tenure, is valued at $42 million, with an option to extend it for another five years. Awarding the contract to Xerox was a natural step for the state of Illinois. The company has provided support to the state's nutrition program for almost a decade as a subcontractor.
