Frequently Asked Questions
What is SNAP & EBT?
The CalFresh Program, federally known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), helps to improve the health and well-being of qualified
households and individuals by providing them a means to meet their nutritional needs.
EBT (Electronic Benefit Transfer) is the benefit delivery system that allows CalFresh and other program recipients to use a card, much like a debit card, to
access their food and cash benefits.
Can I use SNAP/EBT with delivery?
Yes, you can purchase groceries online with your EBT card and have them delivered through Instacart, but you cannot use your CalFresh benefits to pay for
the delivery fee. If you choose delivery for your groceries, you will have to select an alternative payment method to pay for the delivery fees.
Can I buy non-SNAP products with cash/debit?
If you only get CalFresh food benefits, you can only buy food items in-store, online through Instacart, or order food items for pick-up. If you get CalWORKs,
you can use your cash benefits to make food or other purchases.
What items are NOT eligible with EBT?
CalFresh can be used to purchase any food EXCEPT heated foods and nonfood items like tobacco, alcohol, pet food, vitamins, and toiletries.
Do all locations accept SNAP/EBT?
All of our Lucky locations accept EBT cards in store and online through Instacart.
