EBT Cards
In the United States, Electronic Benefit Transfer ("EBT") cards are a form of ID issued by state governments to facilitate the payment of benefits from federal and state-run needs-based public assistance programs. They are currently used for distributing benefits under programs such as TANF (commonly called "Welfare") and SNAP (commonly called "food stamps"), although their use could be expanded to other programs in the future as paper vouchers and checks become obsolete.

Yes you can...I did the last 2 years at Wal-Mart.
Pumpkins, Holiday Gift Baskets, and Special Occasion Cakes
Pumpkins are edible and eligible for purchase with SNAP benefits. However, inedible gourds and pumpkins that are used solely for ornamental purposes are not eligible items.
Gift baskets that contain both food and non-food items, are not eligible for purchase with SNAP benefits if the value of the non-food items exceeds 50 percent of the purchase price.
Items such as birthday and other special occasion cakes are eligible for purchase with SNAP benefits as long as the value of non-edible decorations does not exceed 50 percent of the purchase price of the cake.
Can you buy isagenix with ebt?
You can theoretically buy any product with a nutrition label at establishments that accept EBT. Since some Isagenix products have nutrition labels, they would be eligible if they were sold where EBT is accepted. Products with supplement facts labels would NOT be eligible.
However, Isagenix products are only supposed to be sold on associates' websites, and these websites are not currently set up to accept EBT.
So the answer is "no", but hopefully it's only a temporary "no" since Isagenix is healthy and it would be a better use of tax money over candy bars and other junk food that have nutrition labels and are therefore also eligible.
