Nevadans that use the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) can now buy food online through authorized SNAP retailers, such as Walmart.
Nevada’s SNAP participation is nearly 400,000 individuals, more than 200,000 households, and totals nearly $600 million annually in federal benefits.
Residents can go buy groceries online through Walmart stores where pickup and/or delivery is available.
“We continue to be excited to be part of the USDA’s pilot program and to be able to make our Grocery Pickup and Delivery service available to more and more people, regardless of their payment method. Now more than ever, customers are relying on our pickup and delivery services to give them access to quality, fresh groceries, and we believe that shouldn’t be dictated by how you pay.”
SNAP online purchasing is currently operational in Alabama, Iowa, Nebraska, New York, Oregon, and Washington State. Authorized retailers working with all states are Amazon and Walmart. USDA previously announced Arizona, California, Florida, Idaho, North Carolina, the District of Columbia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri, Texas, Vermont, and Minnesota would also be implementing online purchasing in the near future. With these states, more than half of all households receiving SNAP will have access to online purchasing.
