Q: Can I use my Summer EBT at self-checkout?

A. Yes, you can use your card in self-checkout lanes at approved Walmart stores.

• Summer EBT and WIC cannot be used in the same transaction. If using more than one program, separate foods into different transactions for each program.
• Scan Summer EBT approved foods.
• Search for fresh fruits and vegetables by using the four-digit PLU number located on the item’s sticker.
• Swipe the card and follow on-screen instructions to check out.

Q: Can I use my Summer EBT card for online shopping?

A. Not, currently.

Q: What if my item does not scan as an approved product at the register?

A. You may have selected a food item that is the wrong size or wrong brand, or you may not have enough for that item in your balance.

• You can choose to pay for that item or ask the cashier to void the item.
• You can report the item to our office so we can investigate. In the WICShopper app, in the “I couldn’t buy this” section located on the homepage, fill in the required fields and take a clear picture of the product barcode (this is important as the app asks for nutrition facts/barcode) and the front of the product.
• You can also take a picture of the barcode and front of the product and call Hunger Free Oklahoma at (918) 213-4855 (9a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday-Friday, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday). We can review items and add them to our approved foods list if they meet requirements.
• You can use the WICShopper EBT app feature “Scan Barcode” to find approved foods and confirm they are in your balance. The “Scan Barcode” feature works best when you have registered your Summer EBT card in the app.
• When purchasing fresh fruits or vegetables, try using the four-digit PLU number located on the item sticker rather than scanning the barcode.

Q: Can I get 2% or whole milk with Summer EBT?

A. No, Summer EBT cards cannot be used to buy whole milk or 2% milk.  Summer EBT allows low-fat (1% or ½%), fat-free (skim) milk, and buttermilk.

• Low-fat milk is a healthy choice for you and your family.
• We understand some people are not used to the taste of low-fat milk. Here are some tips for introducing low-fat milk to your family.
  • Try mixing whole or reduced fat with the low-fat milk for a few days. This will help adjust to the new taste. After a few days, try using only the low-fat milk.
  • Try using the low-fat milk in cereal.

Q: My child is lactose intolerant. Are there other milk options?

A. Yes, you can buy lactose-free milk with your Summer EBT card. It must be fat-free or low-fat.

Q: My family cannot drink all the milk before it expires. What should I do?

A. If you have freezer space, milk can be frozen. There are also shelf-stable milk options such as dry milk (powder milk) and evaporated milk (canned milk).

Q: I have two kids. Can I buy a 2-pound block of cheese?

A. Yes, cheese can now be purchased in 8, 16, and 32 oz packages.

Q: I have 8 oz of cereal left on my benefits, but I cannot buy an 8-oz box. What can I do?

A. When buying cereal, planning ahead is the best way to take advantage of all your benefits. Before you make purchases, add up the total amount of boxes to ensure you are getting the most out of your benefits. Each child is issued 54 oz of cereal. You can buy cereal boxes from 11.8 oz to 36 oz.

Q: What if the store does not have a 16 oz loaf of bread?

A. Approved stores must carry bread of the correct size. The store may be out of stock.

• Ask store personnel if they have 16 oz loaves of bread anywhere else in the store or at the back of the store.
• If the store is out of stock, ask a store manager when their next shipment comes in so you can plan your next shopping trip.
• You can buy other whole-grain options including brown rice, bulgur, oatmeal, soft corn tortillas, whole-wheat pasta, and whole-wheat tortillas. See your food card or WICShopper app for the approved items and sizes.

Q: My child is allergic to gluten, what can I get instead of bread?

A. Soft corn tortillas, brown rice, and oatmeal are gluten-free alternatives to bread. Check the food card or app for package sizes.

Q: Why did I have to pay for my fruits and vegetables when I have money in my balance?

A. Sometimes items will have a new barcode that we do not have in our system. We see this most often with fruits and vegetables. If you find something not approved by Summer EBT but you think it should be, take a picture of the barcode, front of the package or item and give us a call. The store is unable to add items to our approved list, but we can investigate and add the item if it is something that should be approved.

• When purchasing fresh fruits and vegetables, try using the four-digit PLU number located on the item sticker rather than scanning the barcode.

Q: What are the options for peanut butter/beans/peas?

A. Each child is issued 3 units in the peanut butter/beans/legumes category.

• 3 containers of peanut butter

OR

• 3 pounds of dry beans

OR

• 12 cans of beans (4 cans= 1 unit)

Your food card shows containers/can sizes, brands and items not allowed. You can use the WICShopper app to help find approved foods and check to see if they are in your balance.

Q: Can I use Summer EBT in all stores, such as Dollar General, convenience stores/quick stops, and other places not on the approved grocery list?

A. Summer EBT stores must meet WIC regulations. Not all stores have the variety of foods that WIC and Summer EBT provide, such as fresh and frozen produce, and are therefore not approved stores.

Q: I lost, misplaced, or never received my card, what can I do?

A. Call Hunger Free Oklahoma at (918) 213-4855 (9a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday-Friday, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday). Please note, once a new card is issued it will deactivate your current card.
