Answer: The clerk may fill out a manual voucher, for food stamp purchases only. This voucher will list:
- Your card number.
- The amount of your purchase.
After the clerk fills in the voucher, the clerk will call to see if you have enough benefits to buy the food. Before you sign, make sure the amount on the voucher is correct. If it is, sign the voucher, and you will be given a copy of the voucher. Keep this voucher so you can subtract this amount from your balance. This will give you the correct amount in your account. It may take a few days for the amount to be subtracted from your account.
