B. Collect the excess amount via another tender type (ex. cash, credit card, etc.)Explanation

This means that the customer will have to pay the additional amount out of their own pocket, as it is not covered by the voucher. Giving them the excess purchase amount for free or writing the total amount on the voucher, even though it exceeds the authorized amount, would go against the guidelines and policies of the WIC program. Therefore, the correct approach is to collect the excess amount from the customer using another form of payment.Rate this question:
