HOT FOOD WAIVER
Louisiana has received a “hot food waiver” from the USDA to allow DSNAP recipients to use benefits to purchase “hot or prepared foods” through September 28, 2021.
This waiver:
- is vital to our residents who are displaced or without power and have no means to cook their food
- applies to P-EBT benefits and DSNAP benefits, if and where approved
- does not allow the use of SNAP benefits at restaurants, but does allow purchases of prepared food from retailers in Louisiana that accept EBT cards

Note: DSNAP benefits can be used at any retailer in the United States that accepts EBT
