Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Online Purchasing Expanded in First Two Years of Pandemic

  • Jones, Jordan

Abstract

The USDA’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Online Purchasing Pilot allows households in participating States to use their SNAP benefits to buy groceries online from authorized, participating retailers. As with in-person redemption, benefits can be used online only for food items 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 as with other online grocery purchases. Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT) benefits issued during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic are similarly redeemable online.
