Online Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Purchasing Grew Substantially in 2020

Abstract

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Online Purchasing Pilot allows households in participating States to use their SNAP benefits to purchase groceries online from authorized, participating retailers. The pilot was mandated by the 2014 Farm Bill and was intended to test the feasibility of safe and secure online SNAP benefit redemptions. Online transactions are subject to the same requirements as in-person benefit transactions. Benefits can only be spent on food at home and cannot be used for additional expenses tied to online grocery shopping, such as tips or fees. Online SNAP grocery purchases can be delivered or picked up onsite like other online grocery purchases.
