FROM: R. E. JORNLIN, DIRECTOR Ckrtra
Social Service Department C
DATE: July 30, 1986
SUBJECT: U.S. POSTAL SERVICE; FOOD STAMP ISSUANCE FEE INCREASES
(Ref: Contract Amendment #20-009-8)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I . RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Chair to execute on behalf of the County a
Contract Amendment (#20-009-8) with the U.S. Postal Service
increasing fees for food stamp over-the-counter issuance transactions
effective October 1, 1986.
II . FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Food Stamp issuance costs are funded 50% Federal , 25% State, and 25%
County. Effective October 1, 1986 the County share will increase
$0.02 per issuance transaction over the current rate. For the past
several months the County's average number of issuance transactions
each month has been approximately 11,550. Thus, the monthly County
share for these transaction fees will increase approximately $231.
This increase can be absorbed through the flexibility built into food
stamp cost projections for FY 86-87.
III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
The current agreement between the U.S. Department of Agriculture and
the U.S. Postal Service-provides for an annual cost study of food
stamp issuance activities so that transaction fees can be adjusted.
Accordingly, the Postal Service has increased the transaction fee to
$1.90 effective October 1, 1986. This fee is uniform nationwide.
