Can beans be purchased with the cash-value voucher?
Footnote 5 of Table 4 of the interim rule lists items that are not for purchase with the cash-value voucher. These items include mature legumes (beans and peas) in dry-packaged or canned forms because these are provided as separate food categories under the legume category and are provided via the regular food instrument. Beans that are not authorized under the legume category, e.g., frozen beans of any kind, including frozen forms of the types of beans authorized in the legume category, may be purchased via the cash-value voucher.
