EBT Benefit Scan

SNAP food rules are changing in 2026, and figuring out what you can and can't purchase isn't always straightforward. EBT Benefit Scan makes it easier to check before you reach the register. Simply scan a grocery item's barcode or enter its UPC to see whether it's likely eligible based on federal SNAP requirements and current food restrictions in your selected state. CHECK SNAP ELIGIBILITY Scan a product barcode and get a simple result: • Likely Eligible • Likely Not Eligible • Needs Verification BUILT FOR THE NEW 2026 SNAP RESTRICTIONS Several states are introducing new restrictions on foods and beverages that can be purchased with SNAP benefits. Those rules aren't the same everywhere. A product restricted in one state may still be eligible in another. EBT Benefit Scan evaluates products against federal SNAP requirements and the applicable rules for your selected state. MORE THAN A BARCODE LOOKUP Product information is gathered from multiple data sources and evaluated against SNAP eligibility criteria. When there isn't enough reliable information to make a confident determination, we'll tell you the item needs verification rather than guess. HELP MAKE RESULTS BETTER If a result doesn't match what you see at the store, you can provide feedback directly in the app. That feedback helps identify products and rules that may need additional review. WHY WE BUILT IT SNAP rule changes can already be confusing. Finding out that an item isn't covered only after reaching the register makes the experience even harder. We built EBT Benefit Scan to give shoppers a quick way to check products while they're shopping so there's less uncertainty at checkout.
