Nevada EBT Card Balance

Your EBT card works like a debit card at any USDA-authorized retailer nationwide — major grocery chains and big-box stores such as Walmart, Target, Kroger, Costco, Sam's Club, Aldi, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and most local and regional supermarkets, plus many convenience stores and farmers markets. A growing number of retailers, including Walmart.com, Amazon, DoorDash, and Uber Eats, also accept SNAP EBT for online grocery orders in many areas, though delivery and service fees usually can't be paid with benefits.

SNAP benefits cover food and food-producing seeds or plants, but not hot prepared foods, alcohol, tobacco, or non-food items — some states also restrict specific items like soda or candy, noted below if it applies to Nevada.

The federal SNAP program normally caps eligibility at a gross income of 130% of the Federal Poverty Level. Nevada, however, uses a policy called Broad-Based Categorical Eligibility (BBCE), which raises the state's gross income limit to 200% of the Federal Poverty Level.

In plain terms, this means more Nevada households can qualify for SNAP than the bare federal minimum would allow, including many working families whose income would otherwise disqualify them. BBCE states like Nevada also typically drop the separate asset (resource) test, so savings, retirement accounts, and the value of a vehicle generally aren't counted against eligibility the way they would be under the strict federal rules.
