How do I use my EBT card in the store?

After swiping your EBT card at checkout, you'll receive a prompt asking you to select which account (EBT cash or SNAP EBT balance) you want to use.

You can use your SNAP EBT balance for any SNAP-eligible items. After that, you'll be able to use another tender to pay for any remaining items that are not SNAP-eligible.
