The approximately 13,000 Wyoming families receiving benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) can now use their Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) cards for online food purchases from Walmart and Amazon.
The added option comes at a critical time, the Wyoming Department of Family Services said in announcing the news, with Wyoming residents affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
“SNAP recipients can now order healthy food online from the safety of their homes,” said Corrine Livers, Economic Security Programs administrator for DFS. “This option supports Wyoming’s efforts to promote social distancing to help keep all Wyomingites safe.”
Per SNAP federal regulations, any delivery fees will need to be paid by means other than an EBT card. For more about SNAP, visit dfs.wyo.gov/assistance-programs/.
