The purpose of this policy bulletin is to inform all Job Center and Non Cash Assistance Food Stamp (NCA FS) Center staff that the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene has created a flyer entitled Fruits and Vegetables are Free and Fresh with the Health Bucks Fall Promotion.
Beginning September 15, 2008, Management Information Systems initiated a mass mailing to Food Stamp participants informing them that 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.
