Mississippi Department of Human Services announced Thursday that it will be moving a new cardholder website where those with an EBT card can manage their benefits. Accounts will move from the Eppicard website, which has previously been used, to the new Go Program website. Clients will not have to order a new card.

The amount of new startup accelerators has gone through the roof. Since they first entered the scene in 2005 over 3,000 accelerators were advertised globally in 2021. It all started with accelerator programs backed by a venture capital fund, such as Y-Combinator. Now accelerators are run by governments, corporates, universities, ex-startup founders, or in partnership with the venture capital(VC) ecosystem. This isn't surprising, as accelerators are proven to have a positive effect on startup success. Research shows startups that 'graduate' from an accelerator program have a 23% better survival rate.
