In cases where individual farmers are not SNAP-authorized, a farmers market can become SNAP-authorized and accept SNAP benefits on behalf of farmers that sell eligible food items at that market. To do so, markets must establish a “scrip” system, using a centralized EBT POS device to process transactions.
Payment: To receive payment for SNAP transactions, farmers must submit their tokens/scrip to market management for payment processing.
Payment: Market staff keeps track of the receipts and reimburses farmers for food they sold.
Scrip acquired with SNAP benefits can only be used to purchase eligible food.
