| Store | Status | Details |
|---|---|---|

| Kroger | ✓ Accepted | Accepted in-store; EBT (authorized stores only) accepted for pickup/delivery — add the card under My Account > Wallet. |
| Meijer | ✓ Accepted | Meijer's official 2024 newsroom announcement confirms SNAP EBT acceptance for Pickup and Home Delivery on Meijer.com (since 2022) and on Meijer app orders across all Midwest stores; EBT covers eligible items.

| Safeway | ✓ Accepted | Safeway's official FAQ lists EBT-SNAP for SNAP-eligible items in-store and online (delivery and DriveUp & Go pickup). EBT Cash (TANF) is accepted in-store everywhere and online in participating states only. |
| Trader Joe's | ✓ Accepted | Trader Joe's official General FAQ lists 'EBT Cards' among accepted payment forms, and confirms the company sells no products online or through any app, so no online or app SNAP redemption exists. The official page does not state the standard 'eligible food items only' restriction. |
| Whole Foods | ✓ Accepted | Whole Foods' official FAQ lists EBT among accepted in-store payment methods. |
| 7-Eleven | △ Conditional | 7-Eleven's official help center confirms customers can buy all SNAP-eligible items available in the store, including through the 7-Eleven app's Mobile Checkout feature (EBT-eligible items show an 'EBT' tag in the basket); product availability varies by store and region, and items that cannot be scanned require completing the transaction with a cashier. |
| Aldi | △ Conditional | ALDI's official FAQs: EBT/SNAP accepted in-store and for website/app delivery & curbside orders, for SNAP-eligible items at participating stores. |
| Amazon | △ Conditional | SNAP EBT accepted for SNAP-eligible items shipped and sold by Amazon/Amazon Fresh or fulfilled by Whole Foods; Whole Foods stores accept EBT in person. |
| Costco | △ Conditional | EBT cards accepted at warehouse registers for eligible food items; not accepted on Costco.com or in the app. |
| CVS | △ Conditional | SNAP-eligible food items only; self-checkout via EBT/Food option + PIN; CVS.com now accepts EBT for eligible items (enter PIN at checkout). In-app EBT not separately confirmed. |
| Dollar Tree | △ Conditional | Dollar Tree's official store pages display an "Accepts EBT" amenity badge, confirming SNAP EBT acceptance in stores at participating locations for SNAP-eligible items. Dollar Tree's official online-payment FAQ lists only American Express, Visa, Mastercard, Discover, PayPal and PayPal Credit for online orders, so EBT is not accepted online. |
| McDonald's | △ Conditional | The Santa Cruz County CalFresh Restaurant Meals Program provider list (updated Dec 2024) names a participating McDonald's at 1210 Ocean St., Santa Cruz. EBT/SNAP acceptance is conditional — RMP-eligible recipients at participating locations only, not chainwide. |
| Sam's Club | △ Conditional | Accepted in-club, at self-checkout, in Scan & Go, and for curbside pickup/delivery from club orders — membership required (official SNAP page). |
| Subway | △ Conditional | Rhode Island DHS's Restaurant Meals Program page confirms eligible SNAP recipients can buy prepared meals at nine participating Subway restaurants; Santa Cruz County's provider list also names six participating Subway locations. Acceptance is conditional — RMP-eligible recipients at participating restaurants only, not chainwide; no other channels documented. |
| Taco Bell | △ Conditional | The Santa Cruz County CalFresh Restaurant Meals Program provider list (updated Dec 2024) names a participating Taco Bell at 1405 Mission St., Santa Cruz. EBT/SNAP acceptance is therefore conditional — limited to RMP-eligible customers at participating restaurants, not chainwide. |
| Target | △ Conditional | SNAP EBT accepted in stores and on Target.com/app for eligible groceries; not for Target Plus partner items and cannot be split with credit/debit. |
