     3    (w) By rule and regulation, establish a method in which the department
     4  notifies vendors authorized to participate in the  Special  Supplemental
     5  Food Program for Women, Infants and Children (hereinafter referred to in
     6  this subdivision as the "WIC"), of a discrepancy in the presentment of a
     7  WIC  check  for reimbursement submitted by the vendor and the reason for
     8  such discrepancy.
