A new opportunity is here for families receiving SNAP benefits! Eligible households can now apply for a $150 Healthy Food Voucher to help buy fresh, nutritious groceries. This program is designed to support low-income families by making healthy food more affordable and accessible. But there’s a catch—you must enroll before August 28, 2025 to receive your voucher.
If you’re a SNAP recipient, this is your chance to stretch your grocery budget and stock up on fresh fruits, vegetables, dairy, and other healthy essentials.
What Is the $150 Healthy Food Voucher?
The Healthy Food Voucher program provides a one-time $150 credit for SNAP households to purchase approved healthy food items. Unlike monthly SNAP benefits, this voucher is specifically aimed at promoting healthier eating habits.
The voucher can be used at participating grocery stores, farmers’ markets, and certain online retailers that accept EBT payments.
Who Is Eligible?
To qualify for the $150 voucher, you must:
- Be an active SNAP recipient as of August 2025.
- Have at least one household member under 18, over 60, or living with a disability.
- Reside in a participating state or county where the program is being offered.
Eligibility may vary slightly by location, so check with your local SNAP office for details.
How to Enroll Before August 28
The enrollment process is simple:
- Visit your state’s SNAP portal or the official Healthy Food Voucher application page.
- Fill out the short online form with your SNAP case number and household details.
- Submit your application before August 28, 2025.
Some states also allow in-person enrollment at SNAP offices or partner community centers.
When Will You Get the $150 Voucher?
Once approved, the voucher will be loaded directly to your EBT card within 7–10 business days after enrollment. You can use it immediately after it appears in your balance.
What Can You Buy With the Voucher?
The $150 credit can be used only for approved healthy food items, including:
- Fresh fruits and vegetables
- Whole grains (brown rice, oats, whole wheat bread)
- Lean proteins (chicken, turkey, fish, eggs, beans)
- Dairy and dairy alternatives (milk, yogurt, cheese)
It cannot be used for processed junk food, soda, alcohol, or household products.
Why You Should Apply Now
With food costs still high, this $150 voucher can make a real difference for your family. Many SNAP recipients spend most of their benefits before the end of the month—this extra support can help fill the gap and encourage healthier eating choices.
Plus, funding for the program is limited, and applications will close on August 28 or sooner if funds run out.
The $150 Healthy Food Voucher is a great way for SNAP families to access fresh, nutritious groceries without stretching their budget. If you qualify, don’t wait—enroll before August 28, 2025, to secure your voucher. This simple step can mean healthier meals and a more balanced diet for you and your family.
By taking action now, you can ensure that your household enjoys quality food that supports better health—all while easing the strain of rising grocery prices.
