Postal Services To
Sell Food Stamps
WASHINGTON, April 13 -
Basic conditions under which
postal facilities can sell food
stamps have been agreed upon
by the U. S. Department of
Agriculture and the U. S.
Postal Service, the department
announced today. Contracts for
selling food coupons in post
offices are established in
dividually between the Postal
Service and the state agency
which administers the food
stamp program.
The agreement defines audit
responsibility and other pro
cedural matters, limits Postal
Service liability for cash and
coupons, and provides for the
use of a standard issuance fee
by the Postal Service. State
agencies have full responsi
bility for negotiating the
contracts.
States may continue to sell
coupons through welfare agen
cies. banks, credit unions,
poverty agencies, and local
businesses. However, depart
ment officials indicate postal
issuance will effectively sup
plement present issuance sys
tems in an effort to provide
convenient service to food
stamp recipients.
Postal Service issuance has
been operating successfully on
a trial basis in a dozen different
parts of the country since 1971.

able . . . every cent. Why take any chances?
