Items may be either purchased or repaired if the cost is:

1. $749.99 or less and the local office has given prior authorization; or

2. $750 or more and the Central Office has given prior authorization.

The worker may opt to generate the check so that it goes directly to the vendor rather than to the client. This may be accomplished by temporarily changing the client's mailing address to the store's address. The check will go to the store but it will be addressed to the client. Client signature will be required to endorse the check. If this option is used, be sure to return the address back to the client's address as soon as the check has been issued.

If the client is eligible for special requirements to purchase furniture/appliances, send a written notice to the client with the following information:
The client is totally responsible for the care and maintenance for the reasonable life use of the items.
The client must provide a receipt within 30 days to verify purchase.
The purpose of the check is to purchase the specified items at an appliance/furniture/retail store.
The warrant will be sent to the client and s/he is responsible for signing the check and paying the appliance/furniture/retail store.
The client's failure to use the check for the specified items could result in his/her having to pay back misspent monies.
