Grocery Stores Accepting SNAP EBT Payment | ACME Markets (2024)

EBT, or Electronic Benefits Transfer, is a system that allows government programs likeSNAPandTANF(Temporary Assistance for Needy Families)to load funds onto payment cards for their recipients.

SNAP, or Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program, is a federally funded program that provides financial assistance to help get healthy food on the tables of millions of Americans.

EBT Cash (TANF) provides supplemental income for qualifying households. It gives families a certain amount of extra money for necessities other than food.

Yes, Albertsons Companies grocery delivery and pickup now accepts SNAP and EBT Cash as online payment methods (subject to state regulation). We accept SNAP in any state where we have online delivery and pickup service. However, not all states currently offer EBT Cash as an online payment type (even if you can use EBT Cash at the physical location). Please check with your EBT office to confirm if EBT Cash is available to use for online transactions.

We’re working diligently to offer EBT grocery delivery and pickup at all of our stores. Please visit ourStore Locator page and click on “Additional Services” to find out if a store in your area is accepting EBT for online payment.

In the payments section of the checkout page, enter your SNAP EBT card information and click “Apply Payment.” Choose the SNAP and/or EBT Cash amount you’d like to use. If the total amount for SNAP-eligible items is higher than your SNAP balance amount, or to pay for any non-SNAP eligible items, you can use another form of payment to cover the difference.

You can check your balance during checkout by selecting “EBT Balance Check” in the EBT Payment Entry section.

Residents of Arizona with disabilities who use Electronic Benefit Transfer and need to use the Online Grocery Ordering Service because of their disability may contact Customer Service at (877) 505-4040 for assistance. If you elect to be transferred to a third-party service provider’s website (such as Rush Delivery by Instacart), then the types of payment options and related terms will be established by that company.

A 10% weight debit surcharge is added to items that are priced by weight (fruits, vegetables, etc.) when you pay with SNAP and/or EBT Cash. The final price is determined once the item is picked and weighed. If the final price is less than what you paid at checkout, the difference will be refunded to your EBT card, and/or reduce the amount charged on your credit card.

If you’re not happy with any item, you may request a refund. If SNAP EBT is used as a payment type, we’ll follow guidelines from the USDA on how to process SNAP eligible refunds. If your item to be refunded is SNAP eligible and you used SNAP to pay for your order, we will refund the payment back to SNAP. When all SNAP funds have been refunded, we will refund the remaining payment types used in the order. For non-SNAP eligible refunds, we will process refunds according to the EBT Cash and/or other payment card amounts you used to pay for your order.
