Uses Mail Order Vendor (MOV)

Contents Show

Business Rule: UsesMOV

Alaska has a unique food delivery system, known as Balto home delivery, which ships food items to participants in remote locations who are not conveniently served by a WIC retail vendor. To accommodate Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) Balto issuances, the SPIRIT WIC system contains functionality to allow the issuance of Balto benefits through the SPIRIT WIC system for redemption by Alaska's contracted mail order vendor and without generating printed food instruments.

Note

NOTE: Participants become eligible to receive food items for a benefit period by a state-contracted mail order vendor when an option is selected in the Household Balto Type drop-down list box on the EBT Household Demographics screen in the Clinic application module. The Household Balto Type drop-down list box is visible and enabled on the EBT Household Demographics screen in the Clinic application module when the value of the UsesMOV business rule equals "Y".

This business rule allows the state to enable Balto functionality to identify participants as eligible to receive food items for a benefit period by Alaska's contracted mail order vendor and without generating printed food instruments.

As the default, the value of the business rule is initially set to "N" to disable Balto functionality within the SPIRIT WIC system.
