Are there any restrictions on what I can buy with my EBT benefits?

Asked 6 months ago
Yes, there are restrictions on what you can buy with your EBT benefits. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) allows EBT benefits to be used only for eligible food items. This includes fruits, vegetables, meats, dairy products, bread, cereals, and non-alcoholic beverages. Energy drinks, alcohol, tobacco products, vitamins, medicines, hot foods, pet food, and non-food items such as household supplies and cosmetics are not eligible for purchase with EBT benefits. Additionally, EBT benefits cannot be used to pay for delivery or service charges. It is important to familiarize yourself with the list of approved items and limitations to ensure compliance with SNAP rules and regulations.
