Important SCRIP Updates for OCS Families

You may not be aware, but recent IRS changes have required us to change the way we operate our SCRIP SUCCE$$ program. Volunteers are still needed in order to comply with the changes. If you can volunteer for a couple of hours or for a day, we need your help! Contact Janet Kase at 852-8033 to volunteer.




The following changes are being implemented in order to streamline our processes so volunteers have an easier time helping us run the program.



Beginning in October, we discontinued the practice of making copies of all cards/certificates. Customers now simply initial the order form agreeing that they have received their order correctly.



What does this mean for you?

Now just as always, you need to treat your SCRIP just like cash. So, if you lose it, you are out that money.

If you are at a retailer and have a gift card you know has money on it, and they tell you it doesn’t, call the 800 number immediately; do not leave the store! The number called can give your balance, and may be able to provide additional information.



Beginning in January, all walk in orders will be entered in SCRIPWARE. Customers will place their order from a “menu”; the order will be inputted, and filled from the receipt printed for the customer. This eliminates the need for data entry at a later time.



What does this mean for you?

Once implemented, you won’t have to fill out an order form, you’ll simply place your order, streamlining the amount of time you spend at the SCRIP office and allowing us to streamline our data entry procedures.
