How do I apply for SNAP in Mississippi?
Short answer: Through the Mississippi state agency.
In Mississippi the program is called Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). USDA's state directory lists the state's own website and application page, linked at the top of this page. Only the state agency can decide whether you qualify.
Can I use EBT at restaurants in Mississippi?
Short answer: Not through the Restaurant Meals Program.
Mississippi 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 Mississippi restrict soda or candy with SNAP?
Short answer: Not on USDA's list.
Mississippi 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.
For decisions about your benefits, contact the Mississippi state SNAP agency.
