6 Things You Need to Know about EBT in Florida

After years of reporting on low income and food stamps topics, I’ve learned that there are several things that most people don’t know about their Access Florida benefits.

• Apply for Florida EBT online on the government website. This is the fastest and easiest way to apply for food benefits.
• Know what you can buy. Most people don’t know that they can buy seeds, plants and some gift baskets with EBT. We’ve got all the info, straight from the USDA!
• Shop smart. You may be able to get more food for your money at farmer’s markets and You-Pick Strawberry Fields!
• You may be eligible for more food stamps than you are getting. Many people are getting less than they should because they don’t get credit for all their deductions.
• You may be able to get cash back from your food stamps card legally by using rewarded shopping apps. One of our readers earned an additional $437.84 in cash just by shopping with her food stamps card!
• You can shop at Costco, Schwans and more! There are some really amazing places that accept EBT. Details here.

Get EBT Discounts on Florida Attractions

If you’re looking for museums and attractions, check out these amazing EBT discounts in Florida. There are so many museums and attractions throughout Florida that invite low income individuals to visit for free or cheap. We’ve found them all!

Always bring your EBT card. You’ll need to show the card to prove that you meet income limits. In the list below, green titles indicate that an EBT card from any state will be accepted.

You cannot pay for admission with your Access Florida card. The card can help you get a discount but if you have to pay to get in, you can’t do that with the EBT card. You’ll need to pay with cash or with a credit/debit card.

There’s another card that can give you free admission, too! Your library card can also help you get free (and cheap) tickets to places all over Florida! To see what your library card can do, check out our library series.
