4. Food stamps which may be
used in Army commissaries in
the United States are another
means by which our commis-
saries support the Army Family
Program according to an offi-
cial at the U.S. Army Troop
Support Agency.
THE FOOD Stamp Program
created by the federal govern-
ent and sponsored by the
U.S. epartm ent of Agricul-
ture assists low-income house-
holds in purchsing nutritional
foods through a cooperative
Federal-State program.
Army commissaries partici-
pating in the program proces-
sed $5.3 million in food stamps
in Fiscal Year 1984 a decrease
from the $5.7 million processed
in FY 83. “This can be attri-
buted to the tightened eligibil-
ity criteria for program partici-
pants” an official said.

Food stamps are coupons
slightly smaller than a dollar
bill that can be used for cash to
buy food at the commissary.
They come in denominations of
$1 $5 and $10 in booklets worth
$2 $7 $10 $40 $50 and $65. The
stamps cannot be used to pur-
chase tobacco products pet
foods health and beauty aids
household and other nonfood
items. Shoppers in Puerto Rico
receive checks in the amount of
their entitlement rather than in
food stamps. They are not avail-
able to shoppers in Europe or
the Far East.
HOUSEHOLDS ust meet
certain income criteria to qual-
ify for the Food Stamp Prog-
ram. The amount of food stamp
coupons a household receives
depends on income resources
and number of family mem-
bers.

Shipment of one’s car to an
overseas duty station has al-
ways been great for morale be-
cause of the convenience it pro-
vides to the service member.
NORMALLY ALL a service
ember ust do to benefit
from this en titlem en is to
prove legal ownership of the
ic le ease ic le s
r sea ia
problem.
Since June 5 1974 service
members have not been autho-
rized to ship leased POVs.
According to a ruling by the
Comptroller General and con-
tained in the Joint Travel Reg-
ulations Chapter 11 Volume I
a lease is not sufficient own-
ership of a POV.
espite the ruling som
members continue to enter into
vehicle leasing contracts and
expect their vehicles to be ship-
ped when they are ordered to
overseas duty. When they find
they cannot ship these leased
vehicles many expect DOD’s
help in terminating their lease.
In both cases they are mis-
taken.
MOST VEHICLE lease con-
tracts prohibit overseas ship-
ment of leased vehicles accord-
ing to Military Traffic Manage-
ment Command (MTMC) offi-
cials. Despite that and the Com-
ptroller General’s ruling leased
vehicles sometimes slip past
POV shipping authorities. Nor-
mally when a leasing company
finds out it immediately repos-
seses the vehicle. When that
happens it creates consider-
able problems for everyone in-
volved including the service
member whose leased vehicle
was shipped.
MTMC officials advise ser-
vice members that if while on
active duty they enter into a
lease contract and then are
levied for overseas assignment
it is up to them to terminate
th ir lease or ake th
arrangements for the vehicle.
The Soldiers and Sailors Civil
^Relief Act of 1940 will not re-
lieve members of lease obliga-
tions. In any case according to
MTMC fficials hi pp in
leased vehicles is prohibited by
DOD.
