Department of Agriculture (USDA) an nounced last week, i Under a new food stamp l|program rule, when a partici pating firm has changed the nature of its business and is no ^nger eligible to accept food Htamps, USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) will immediately notify the firm that its food stamp authoriza tion is being withtlrawn. FNS officials offered the example of a delica'essen that sells groceries and provid^ carp'-out food service. If the delicatessen eliminates gro cery sales and converts to a restaurant, it can no longer accept food stamps under USDA regulations. rNS field offices monitor participating food stores to make sure they comply with program rules.

If the firm was ineligible, the application then would be denied and permission to acc^t food stamps withdrawn.
