Every month, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits are electronically loaded onto a benefits transfer card, which recipients can utilize at grocery stores for the acquisition of eligible food items such as fruits, vegetables, bread, meat, poultry, and beverages. Notably, the use of SNAP benefits for items such as pet food, alcohol, and household products like paper and soap is strictly prohibited.
