EBT, also known as SNAP benefits, is a government-sponsored public service that delivers funds specifically for food items. Eligible food purchases include vegetables, meats, dairy products and fruits. Noneligible items include alcohol, tobacco and all nonfood items. Apply for an EBT card by contacting a local SNAP office. Each state has its own EBT application, and 42 states provide online EBT applications.
