The National Association of
Convenience Stores (NACS) is asking all retailers who either accept federal
food stamps (SNAP), or are considering such acceptance, to comment on
proposed rules that will significantly affect store eligibility or
seriously complicate eligibility and ongoing compliance. The
comment deadline is May 18th, so quick action is needed.
For an overview and issues
involved, click

and Nutrition Service (FNS).
There are two ways to assist

letter developed by CIOMA with your company particulars (you will need to
convert the file from PDF to an editable file). Click
