WICcash an accepted payment method at farmer's market?

http://ohanapi.herokuapp.com/api/organizations/51a9fd0128217f8977000032 has a payment method of "WIC" and "WICcash." Is that a mistake? Should it be "WIC" and "Cash"? If that is the case I would remove "Cash" as I think that's implied (or include it in all farmer's markets entries).

It's not a mistake. It's a separate payment method listed in the USDA's data. Unfortunately, their new API does not expose the payments accepted, so we'll have to continue using our data, which is more up to date anyways.

It looks like it's also referred to as a Cash Value Voucher (CVV): http://www.fns.usda.gov/wic/ebt/cvvreport.htm
The full term seems to be WIC Cash Value Voucher, as used here: http://www.iowaagriculture.gov/Horticulture_and_FarmersMarkets/pdfs/2012FMNPHandbook.pdf

I'm not sure what term WIC clients would relate to, but if we stick to WIC Cash, we should use 2 words. I can't seem to find "WICcash" being used elsewhere.

I suspect this is the same as accepting WIC? The farmer's market http://ohanapi.herokuapp.com/api/organizations/51a9fd0128217f8977000032 has both WIC and WICcash listed. I interpret that field to mean a client enrolled in a particular program (SNAP/CalFresh, SFMNP, etc.) can pay with the benefits of that program. Meaning if WICcash (or WIC CVV) is a part of WIC, it would be accurate to only say "WIC" is an accepted form of payment. If they are separate payment methods (e.g. benefits of different programs), then "WIC" should have a qualifier that says it's WIC without the CVV. Like @monfresh said it at least needs formatting help.
