EBT cards can be used in grocery stores and participating farmer’s markets. According to the California Department of Social Services, some farmer’s markets give CalFresh recipients twice the amount of produce they pay for. Simply swipe your EBT card in the card reader machine and enter your PIN to use your benefits.

If you’re 60 years or older, you may also qualify for California’s Restaurant Meals Program (RMP). This is a state option that allows certain SNAP recipients who might not be able to prepare meals for themselves to be able to buy prepared meals at restaurants with their SNAP benefits. Not all locations participate in this program so make sure to call ahead and ask if CalFresh EBT cards are accepted.
