EBT
Electronic Benefit Transfer, often called EBT, is the primary mechanism in Minnesota for issuing Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits and cash assistance. Electronic Benefit Transfer cards can be used at point-of-sale devices for food purchases.
You can use your EBT card for:
• Vegetables and fruits.
• Dairy products.
• Meat, poultry, fish, and eggs.
• Bread, cereals, rice, grains and dried beans.
• Jams, syrups, honey, pickles and packaged cakes.
• Packaged cold foods.
• Seeds or plants that produce food (e.g. tomato, basil).
You cannot buy:
• Flowers, decorative or ornamental plants.
• Non-food items (soap, paper, crafts, clothing).
• Ready-to-eat food or prepared beverages (coffee, tea).
• Pet food.
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients can use their EBT card at the market information booth and receive a double benefit. Market Bucks is a program that helps you buy more fresh fruits and vegetables at farmers' markets. For every SNAP dollar you spend at a participating farmers' market, you'll receive an additional dollar in Market Bucks and an additional dollar in Produce Market Bucks up to a limit of $10 per day!
Use up to $10 of your SNAP benefits at the market and you'll receive $10 in SNAP tokens, $10 in Market Bucks and $10 in Produce Market Bucks. Now you have up to $30 to spend at the market! SNAP tokens and Market Bucks can be used for any SNAP-eligible item, while Produce Market Bucks are only for fruits, vegetables and herbs.
Save your unused Market Bucks and SNAP tokens for your next visit. Remember to use them before they expire.
MNsure is Minnesota's health insurance marketplace. Certified advisors help you apply and enroll in person, by phone, or virtually. Most people receive financial assistance and, if you qualify, you can access free or low-cost plans through Medical Assistance or MinnesotaCare, administered by the Department of Human Services.
