Can I use EBT at restaurants in Alaska?

Short answer: Not through the Restaurant Meals Program.

Alaska is not on USDA's list of states that run the Restaurant Meals Program, so regular SNAP benefits cannot be used for hot meals at restaurants there.

Does Alaska restrict soda or candy with SNAP?

Short answer: Not on USDA's list.

Alaska is not on USDA's list of states with an approved SNAP food restriction waiver. Under federal rules, soda and candy are eligible foods there. This can change if the state asks for a waiver.
