Changes are made
in food stamp program
The Department of Social
and Health Services is advising
food stamp households in
Washington State that if their
heating or utility bills go up this
winter, the amount they pay for

stamp rules effective January 1,

get prompt adjustments in their
food stamp purchase price if
heating or utility bills increase.
Food stamp purchase prices
are based on net income, after
itemized deductions. When
Ideductions for heating and
costs increase, purchase
races go down because there is

bills have increased less than $25

according to normal procedures.

HAVE A NICE DAY!
The average household
in 1978 will spend $3,354
on food, $1,166 on
clothing and shoes, and
