Accept Food Stamps?

Because of harsh economic changes many people across the country are applying for SNAP Benefits for the very first time in their life.

A lot of the people who are new to the program will often ask the question, "How do I know if a store will accept food stamps?"

The answer to that question is relatively simple. Somewhere on the outside of the building of the store there will be a sign that looks like this:

Since the official name for the food stamp program has been changed to Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), sometimes you will see signs like the one below with the official logo.


The two signs above are the one that you will most generally see because they are official logos, but sometimes a store that accepts food stamps will have a homemade sign, or they will display the fact that EBT or is accepted in their store, or they will show a Quest EBT Network sign:



Other types of signs you may see are signs that post the name of the program in your state or signs that show your state's specific EBT Card.


Either way, if you see any of the signs, or types of signs listed above you wil know that you can use your EBT Card there to buy groceries, and you can also buy fast food food like Pizza Hut, KFC, and Subway with food stamps in some places n ow:
