(This Policy Bulletin Replaces PB #09-60-OPE and CD #09-26) The purpose of this policy bulletin is to inform all Job Center and Non Cash Assistance Food Stamp (NCA FS) Center staff that Management Information Systems has mailed a letter from Commissioner Doar (Attachment A) to households that live near a Green Market. The letter informs participants that, beginning July 1,2010, for every $5.00 spent at participating farmers markets using the Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card, they will receive two Health Bucks that can be used toward the purchase of fruits and vegetables at farmers markets.
