Redeeming Food Coupons
The Food StaiDp Prograin
The Food Stamp Program is operated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture as authorized by the
Food Stamp Act of 1977 as amended. Under this Program eligible households are issued United States
Department of Agriculture Food Coupons to supplement their food purchasing budge,t. The purpose
of the Food Stamp Program is to provide low-income households the opportunity to o.;tain better diets.
Food coupons are used to purchase eligible food items from retail firms which have been authorized by
the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The food coupons are engraved documents slightly smaller than U.S. currency. They are printed
with intaglio print on water-marked paper with the words "Food Coupon" embossed. They come in
three denominations: $1 food coupons (brown), $5 food coupons (purple), and $10 food coupons
(green) and are distributed in booklets that are usually serially numbered similar to currency. Each
food coupon in a booklet has the same serial number regardless of the face value. The exceptions are
starred books which are usable books containing serial numbers not in regular sequence.
Authorized retailers accepting food coupons may redeem them at face value for credit to their
account or payable in cash through fmancial institutions such as banks, savings and loan associations,
and credit unions that are insured by an agency of the United States Government.
State approved meal services authorized by the U.S. Department of Agriculture may purchase
eligible foods with food coupons through approved food wholesalers. These wholesalers may subsequently
redeem the food coupons at face value for credit to their account through the facilities of insured
financial institutions.
The Federal Reserve Bank handles food coupons as cash under an agreement with the Secretary of
Agriculture. This agreement is subject to revision in keeping with regulations concerning the handling
of food coupons by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Coupons are an obligation of the United
States within the meaning of Section 8, Title 18 of the U.S. Code. Laws regarding counterfeiting and altering
of U.S. obligations apply to food coupons. All transactions involving food coupons are subject to
the provisions of Section 15 of the Food Stamp Act of 1977, as amended which concerns the penalties
for unauthorized use of food coupons. Any such use may constitute a false claim against the United
States.
This document outlines the steps to be taken by retail food stores and wholesale food firms in
preparing food coupons for deposit in fmancial institutions which accept food coupons for redemption.
Also outlined are the procedures these fmancial institutions should follow in order to obtain payment
for food coupons through the Federal Reserve System.
