In recent times, many of us have been hit with unprecedented financial hardships. If you have applied to receive government benefits for the first time, you may find that knowing which foods you can and can’t buy can be complicated. For instance, can you buy formula with an EBT card?
If you have SNAP benefits, you can use that program to buy formula, as well as baby food and other eligible items. Read on to learn more about EBT benefits and what you can and can’t buy with your EBT card.
What Is the SNAP Program?
Before we dive into why you can purchase formula with your EBT card, let’s talk about the SNAP program. The Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) was founded in 1933 as part of the Agricultural Adjustment Act. It’s a program designed to help low-income people afford the food they need to survive.
Chances are you’ve heard of the SNAP program before, and if you’re old enough, you may even know it as food stamps. When the program first began, people would receive paper stamps they could exchange for food at the grocery store. However, since many people wound up trading or selling these stamps for other needs, the government shifted to an electronic card system.
How Does It Connect to an EBT Card?
When the government phased out the old paper food stamps, they introduced the EBT card. Your electronic benefit transfer (EBT) card is your ticket to accessing your SNAP benefits. You can use it much like a credit or debit card at the store to purchase needed food items.
Your EBT card will have a certain amount of “stamp money” loaded onto it that you can use for food. Unlike other federal benefit programs, this card does not give you direct cash you can spend on anything you need.
Instead, it limits which items you can purchase with this card, and you can only use it to buy food items.
Are There Purchase Limits for Formula?
Because formula is considered a direct source of nutrition for infants, it is one of the items eligible for purchase with an EBT card. However, some items come with limits on how many you can buy each month or in one trip. Are there such buying limits in place for baby formula?
Luckily, there are no purchase amount limits for formula, so you can get as much as you need. The only limit is the amount of money you have on your EBT card. If possible, it’s a good idea to budget your monthly assistance amount to ensure everyone in your family, including your baby, has food to eat.
Can You Purchase Other Baby Food?
Formula is an important part of the SNAP program eligibility, but what do you do once your baby gets older? They can’t keep drinking formula forever, but they may not yet be ready to move on to solid foods.
Will your EBT card work for purchasing pre-made baby food and other transitional foods?
Baby food and other such essentials also fall under the nutrition category of SNAP benefits. You can use your EBT card to purchase jars of baby food, baby cereals, oatmeal, or other such foods. You may also be able to use this card to purchase juice and certain other drinks for small children.
Can You Buy Other Baby Products?
If you’re struggling financially, knowing you can feed your baby with SNAP benefits can be a huge load off. But there are many other expenses associated with raising a child—medical expenses, toys, clothes, and diapers, to name a few. In fact, the average parent spends nearly $1,000 a year on diapers alone.
Unfortunately, these other items do not fall under the nutritional requirements for SNAP benefits. You can’t purchase them using an EBT card without facing serious consequences. But later on, we’ll discuss some ways you may be able to get help buying diapers and other such necessities.
Eligibility for SNAP
Eligibility for SNAP benefits will vary from state to state, so you must check on your particular state’s guidelines. In general, these guidelines are usually based on total household incomes rather than individual incomes. They will also depend largely on how many people, including children, depend on you financially.
To determine your eligibility, a member of your household must contact the SNAP office in your state.
What You Can Purchase With an EBT Card
In general, EBT cards are meant to help you and your family purchase food only, not other necessities. This food does not have to be healthy or meet certain requirements; it must only be intended for your family to consume directly. Processed food, snacks, candy, and sweets are all eligible for EBT card purchases, though they are not the best choice.
You can also use your EBT card to purchase seeds that will be used to grow food for your family. Starting a garden can be a great way to supplement your food resources, especially if you harvest seeds from the food you grow.
Your garden can even help others in your community get the nutrition they need.
EBT Card Limitations
There are a variety of essentials that don’t fall under the SNAP benefits program. For instance, you can’t use your EBT card to buy toilet paper, cleaning supplies, or medicines. You also can’t use your EBT card to buy premade hot foods at stores, such as a burger from the fast-food restaurant in the grocery store.
Unfortunately, SNAP benefits also do not cover pet food, though there are other ways to help keep your best friend fed. And you may not be surprised to learn that alcohol and tobacco aren’t eligible for purchase with your EBT card. If you or someone in your family struggles with an addiction to these substances, there are programs that can help you.
Where You Can Use an EBT Card
EBT cards are accepted at stores in all fifty states and U.S. territories like Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Most standard grocery stores and convenience stores participate in the SNAP program and will accept an EBT card.
However, it’s always a good idea to check with a new store to make sure they’ll accept your card before you begin shopping, especially if it’s a small business.
There are some farmer’s markets that also accept EBT cards. This can be a great way to get your family fresh fruits and vegetables from local sources without having to turn to your local big-box retailer. You may also be able to get seeds and gardening advice from your local farmer’s market vendors, so be sure to check for when and where they set up.
Cautions When Using an EBT Card
When you’re shopping, it’s natural to throw all your items such as food and other necessities into the basket together and then put them on the conveyor belt without thinking. However, your EBT card will only cover those items in your cart that qualify for the program.
Aid for Diapers and Baby Products
So what do you do if you have to buy diapers, but you can barely afford to keep a roof over your baby’s head, and you rely on SNAP benefits to keep them fed? If your child is enrolled in an Early Head Start or Head Start program, they should receive diapers while at the program.
If you receive TANF benefits, you can also use that money to purchase diapers.
Some community programs work to provide diapers and other such necessities for families in need. There is also a bill in Congress that would help provide diapers to families all across the country. Talk to your local representatives about whether such a program is available in your community, and ask your national representatives to vote yes on HR1846.
Answer, “Can You Buy Formula with an EBT Card?”
Trying to keep your family fed can be a challenge, especially in times like this. Luckily, the answer to the question, “Can you buy formula with an EBT card?” is yes. Formula and other food products that will provide nutrition for your children are eligible for the program.
If you qualify for SNAP benefits, you may also qualify for free Lifeline phone service. Apply now and start getting the help you need to stay connected.

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
We have become aware of misinformation on social media that is prompting people to submit applications on behalf of their children alone. SNAP applications must include all members of the household: parents, children up to age 22 and anyone else living in the home. Knowingly excluding members of a household is considered SNAP fraud and will be investigated. Learn more about fraud here.

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) provides monthly benefits that help eligible low-income households buy the food they need for good health. For most households, SNAP funds account for only a portion of their food budgets; they must also use their own funds to buy enough food to last throughout the month.
Eligible households can receive food assistance through regular SNAP or through the Louisiana Combined Application Project (LaCAP).
For more information on SNAP and other services available through the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS), call 1-888-LAHELP-U (1-888-524-3578).
SNAP participants may also meet the income eligibility guidelines for nutrition services through the Women, Infants & Children Program (WIC) offered by the Louisiana Department of Health.

Qualifying for Regular SNAP
To get benefits through regular SNAP, households must meet certain tests, including resource and income tests.
Resources: Individuals who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or households including anyone who receives Family Independence Temporary Assistance Program (FITAP), Kinship Care Subsidy Program (KCSP), or Strategies to Empower People (STEP) Program benefits are exempt from the resource limit.
Households not exempt from the resource limit may have up to $2750 in resources, such as a bank account, cash, certificate of deposit (CDs), stocks, and bonds. Non-exempt households that include at least one household member who is age 60 or older or includes a disabled member may have up to $4250 in resources.
Households are not exempt from the resource limit if:
- Any member is disqualified for Intentional Program Violation, or
- The household is disqualified for failing to comply with work registration requirements.
The following individuals are not exempt from the resource limit:
- An ineligible alien,
- An ineligible student,
- An individual who is disqualified for failure to comply with work registration requirements,
- An individual who is disqualified for failure to provide or apply for a social security number, and
- An individual who is on strike.
Income: Households must meet income tests (unless any member is receiving FITAP, KCSP, STEP benefits, or all members are receiving SSI).
Most households must meet both the gross and net income tests, but a household with a person who is 60 years old or older or a person who is receiving certain types of disability payments only has to meet the net income test.
Gross income means a household's total, non-excluded income, before any deductions have been made. Net income means gross income minus allowable deductions. Households, except those noted, that have income over the amounts listed below cannot get SNAP benefits.
Allotment Amounts: The amount of SNAP a household receives depends on the number of people in the SNAP household and the amount of their net income. The table below shows the maximum SNAP allotments by household size.
- View the Allotment Amounts Table
Other Eligibility Requirements
- Identity - Individuals must show proof they are the person they claim to be. Applicants must provide proof of their identity.
- Residence - the client must be living in Louisiana.
- Citizenship - household members can include either US citizens and/or certain aliens with verifiable USCIS documentation.
- Enumeration - households must provide or apply for Social Security numbers for each member before certification.
- Work Registration - all able-bodied adults, with specific exceptions, must register for work and accept suitable employment

Qualifying for LACAP
LaCAP is a food assistance program for Louisiana residents who are at least 60 years of age and receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI). It is a simplified version of SNAP. If you are eligible for LaCAP, you will receive a Louisiana Purchase Card and SNAP benefits will be automatically deposited into your account every month. There are three standard allotment amounts in LaCAP.
Depending on shelter costs, LaCAP participants will receive $82, $129, or $220. LaCAP cases are certified for 36 months.
You may be eligible for LaCAP if you are receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and you:
- Are age 60 or older,
- Are not institutionalized or otherwise ineligible for SNAP benefits due to immigration status, or an Intentional Program Violation.

How are My Benefits Issued?
Check the Balance on your Louisiana Purchase Card (EBT Account)
Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) is a method of delivering governmental benefits to recipients electronically. Louisiana uses magnetic stripe card technology. The card, which is referred to as the Louisiana Purchase Card enables recipients to access benefits at Point-of-Sale (POS) machines.
SNAP benefits are posted to recipients' accounts during the first fourteen days of the month. Recipient benefits are accessible by 5:00 a.m. the morning after they are posted. Benefits are posted on the same date every month regardless of the day of the week. Holidays and weekends do not affect the date of benefit availability. In emergency situations, benefits are available immediately.
Benefits are secure and accessible only to persons authorized by the recipient. The Personal Identification Number (PIN) is selected by the recipient and must be correctly entered in order to successfully complete all electronic transactions.
As purchases are made at grocery store checkout lanes, recipient accounts are debited and the recipient is given a receipt that provides the remaining account balance.
Eligible Food Items
Households CAN use SNAP benefits to buy:
- Foods for the household to eat, such as:
- breads and cereals;
- fruits and vegetables;
- meats, fish and poultry; and
- dairy products.
- Seeds and plants that produce food for the household to eat.
Households CANNOT use SNAP benefits to buy:
- Beer, wine, liquor, cigarettes or tobacco;
- Any nonfood items, such as:
- pet foods;
- soaps, paper products; and
- household supplies.
- Vitamins and medicines;
- Food that will be eaten in the store;
- Hot foods.
In general, food products that contain alcohol or tobacco, items that are not intended for human consumption (e.
g. paper products, pet foods, etc.), vitamins and supplements, and foods sold hot at the point-of-sale, are not eligible for purchase with SNAP benefits.
Disaster Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program
The USDA provides nutrition assistance to those most affected by a disaster or emergency. When the State of Louisiana notifies the USDA of the types and quantities of food that relief organizations need for emergency feeding operations, supplies are provided to disaster relief organizations such as the Red Cross and the Salvation Army for mass feeding or household distribution. The USDA also authorizes States to provide D-SNAP benefits if certain conditions are met.

SNAP Historical Information
This program was established by Congress in 1964 by PL 88-55 which was superseded by the Food Stamp Act of 1977 and subsequent amendments to the Act. It is administered at the federal level by the U.S. Department of Agriculture - Food and Nutrition Service and at the state level by the Department of Children & Family Services.
Besides certification and issuance activities, the Food Security Act of 1985 mandated that employment and training services be provided for SNAP recipients who are mandatory work registrants. The employment and training activities, known as the Louisiana Job Employment Training (LaJET) Program, are accomplished through the cooperative efforts of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the DCFS parish offices, (in parishes where available) local governing authorities in the State and the Louisiana Workforce Commission.
The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) of 1996, which was signed into law on August 22, 1996, implemented many changes in SNAP, including a limit on the number of months certain persons can receive SNAP benefits without working.

How to get a dairy kitchen for a child? Every family with a newborn baby has the right to state assistance. In particular, for free food and drink for the child.
Legislation
Dairy cuisine is one of the regional measures of social support for the population.
Its activities are regulated by Federal Law No. 323 "On the fundamentals of protecting the health of citizens" dated 11/21/11.
Federal Law of November 21, 2011 No. 323
In Moscow, the activities of institutions for the issuance of free meals are regulated by Government Order No. 292 of 04/06/14.

Order of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 292
Who is entitled to a dairy kitchen
The concept of dairy cuisine as such is not enshrined in modern legislation at the state level. Special catering facilities are stipulated by the Federal Law "On the Fundamentals of Protecting the Health of Citizens in the Russian Federation". Paragraph 3 of Article 52 stipulates that the provision of adequate nutrition for pregnant women, nursing mothers, as well as children under the age of three years is carried out at the conclusion of doctors in accordance with the legislation of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.
nine0028
From this we can distinguish categories of citizens who can apply to an institution for free food:
- babies under three years old;
- pregnant women; 90,003 breastfeeding mothers.
Naturally, it is not the children themselves who should come to the institution for their food. This is done by their legal representatives. For example, parents or guardians.
Taking into account the regional programs adopted on the basis of the above law, the following categories of citizens can also be distinguished who can apply for a prescription for free meals:
- disabled (under 15 years of age) 90,003 children under the age of 7 from large families.
It should be noted that the regional authorities independently regulate the issue of providing citizens with preferential meals, including dairy cuisine, therefore, the list of citizens who can count on benefits will differ, as well as the food set they are provided with.
Grounds
The basis for obtaining the right to free meals is a prescription issued either by a gynecologist who sees a pregnant woman, or a pediatrician who sees a beneficiary's child. nine0028
The polyclinic, in turn, enters into an agreement with an organization supplying and producing food.
Issue norms
Pediatricians, gynecologists and other doctors decide what kind of food children and women will receive free of charge as part of state assistance. The diet that they select should contribute to a healthy diet, the full development of the child's body.
According to the all-Russian trends, in 2022 the list of products served in the so-called dairy kitchen includes:
- vegetable and meat puree ;
- pasteurized cow's milk ;
- kefir adapted for children's organism .
The list is supplemented by nutritional and medicinal mixtures, liquid or dry, purees made from fruits, milk curds, juices made from fruits.
It is impossible to get any of this food list without having an official prescription from a doctor.
How much free food a baby gets depends on their age. The composition of the grocery basket also depends on age. nine0028
- For example, in Moscow, a child who is six months old has the right to receive dry formula once every 30 days - 350 g and juice made from fruits - a little more than 1 liter. He is also entitled to fruit puree - two kilograms. Be sure to give out porridge once a week, in dry or liquid form, but not more than 400 g at a time.
- A baby who is only 5 months old can receive the following assistance from the state once a month completely free of charge. Firstly, dry porridge - 400 g. Secondly, mashed potatoes made from vegetables, about 1 kg. Mandatory fruit juice and the same puree, 1 liter and 1 kg, respectively. nine0004
- Babies 3 to 4 months old can count on a liter of fruit juice per month, dry formula, about 1 kg.
- Quite babies, from birth to 2 months of life, receive food once every 7 days: about 5 liters of the mixture, preferably in liquid form.
This procedure for the distribution of food is established by the Order of the Department of Health of the city of Moscow.
Attention! This set may vary depending on the region and the decision of pediatricians.In the Perm Territory, children from 6 months old are given 350 grams of milk formula, more than a liter of fruit juice, a little more than a kilogram of fruit puree, 400 grams of dry porridge. The norms for issuing products increase with the age of the child. nine0028
In St. Petersburg, the authorities took a different path, providing citizens with social cards that they can use to pay for food and clothing in specialized stores.
What documents do you need to collect? For example, in Moscow, you will need to collect the following package of documents:
- baby's birth certificate; nine0004
- insurance policy;
- document on registration of the child;
- document from the place of work of parents;
- if the family has many children, a document confirming this;
- a document stating the health of the child;
- if the child is disabled - withdrawal of the commission.
In order for pregnant women and nursing mothers to receive food free of charge, they will need to write an appropriate application to the head physician. Pregnant women can get a sample application from their antenatal clinic. Or watch it here. nine0028 Attention! The absence of a permanent residence permit is not a reason for refusing to issue products. Temporary registration is also suitable.
Appointment for receipt of products
The order and place of distribution of products is also determined by regional legislation. Usually, pregnant women can get a referral for free distribution of products in their antenatal clinic.
Nursing mothers make an appointment to receive food from a pediatrician who monitors the full development of the child. Registration does not take place on the mother, but on the child. But, of course, parents will receive food. nine0028
Older children can get dairy products after registering with a pediatrician.
Period of validity of a prescription for dairy cuisine
It is generally accepted that a prescription is issued for a period of 1 month. In rare cases, this period is extended by 3 months. For example, if the child is not yet three years old, if the recipient of the food is a pregnant woman or a nursing mother. nine0028
A six-month prescription is available for disabled children and children from large families.
For how long the prescription will be issued, the doctor decides, based on the examination and conclusion about the health of the child and the pregnant/nursing woman.
Important! In order to constantly receive products in the dairy kitchen, you need to remember to renew the recipe in time. You need to apply for a new prescription when the expiration date of the current prescription began to approach.
Dairy kitchen hours
A dairy kitchen operates in almost every city in the Russian Federation.
Check the local dairy kitchen for the exact opening hours. For example, in many dairy kitchens at children's clinics, opening hours start as early as 6.30 am.
Last changes
All changes will be announced later. You can learn about it from the news on our website. The information will also be updated in this article.
