Can you use your ebt food card on gift sets for Christmas such as meat ans cheeze trays or coffee cocoa sets?

Unfortunately, you cannot use your EBT food card to purchase gift sets like meat and cheese trays or coffee and cocoa sets.

Here's why:

* EBT is for food. The primary purpose of EBT (Electronic Benefits Transfer) is to help low-income families purchase food. This includes fresh produce, groceries, and other food staples.

* Gift sets are not considered food. While they may contain food items, they are packaged as gifts and are often considered non-essential.

However, you may be able to purchase individual food items that are part of the gift set using your EBT card. For example, you could buy cheese, meat, coffee, or cocoa separately and assemble your own gift set.

Remember to check with your local grocery store or retailer to confirm what items are eligible for purchase with EBT.

It's always best to follow the guidelines and restrictions of your EBT program.
