REQUEST FROM SOCIAL SERVICES FOR APPROVAL OF ELECTRONIC
BENEFITS TRANSFER TRAINING (OPTION A) FOR FOOD STAMP RECIPIENTS: The
DSS Director, Don Wall, and Food Stamp Supervisor, Donna Rufty attended the briefing session
and discussed this request. Wall mentioned that effective September of 1998 food stamp coupons
will no longer be issued. Instead, a credit card will be used. CitiBank has the State contract to
handle the recipients' financial accounts. A 1-800 # will be available for the users to find out how
much money is available to them. The State will supply the equipment. The counties are to pay for
the training. Commissioner Stewart mentioned that at a recent NCACC Board Meeting the training
expense was discussed. This Board agreed to send a letter to the State officials expressing discontent
over this being an unfunded mandate. The State will be asked to absorb the training costs.
MOTION by Commissioner Stewart to approve the DSS request to use Training Option A
for Electronic Benefits Transfer training for the 1,817 Food Stamp recipients.
