Payment of Cash or Checks to Clients Not Allowed. Where direct provision of service is not possible or effective, vouchers or similar programs, which may only be exchanged for a specific service (e.g., transportation), shall be used to meet the need for such services. CONTRACTOR shall administer store gift cards or voucher programs to assure that recipients cannot readily convert vouchers into cash. • Store gift cards that can be redeemed at one merchant or an affiliated group of merchants for specific goods or services are allowable as incentives for eligible program participants. • General-use prepaid cards are considered “cash equivalent” and are therefore unallowable. Such cards generally bear the logo of a payment network, such as Visa, MasterCard, or American Express, and are accepted by any merchant that accepts those credit or debit cards as payment. Gift cards that are cobranded with the logo of a payment network and the logo of a merchant or affiliated group of merchants are general-use prepaid cards, not store gift cards, and therefore are unallowable. • The CONTRACTOR must ensure that a policy for managing gift cards with strong internal controls is in place.
