Can I use EBT at restaurants in Michigan?

Short answer: Yes, in some cases.

Michigan is on USDA's list of states that run the Restaurant Meals Program. It lets SNAP households where everyone is elderly, disabled or homeless use EBT at approved restaurants. Each restaurant has to be approved, so ask your state agency which ones take part.

Does Michigan restrict soda or candy with SNAP?

Short answer: Not on USDA's list.

Michigan 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.
