In light of the ongoing federal government shutdown and its impacts on Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, Double Up Food Bucks will continue to be available to SNAP users in Iowa.

SNAP participants can continue to earn and spend Double Up Food Bucks on purchases of fresh fruits and vegetables with any existing SNAP/EBT balance at participating locations. Up to $15 of Double Up Food Bucks can be earned per day.

At this time, no changes are planned to the earning process. For more information, visit the link below.
