Once a beneficiary has their monthly benefits loaded onto their Maine EBT card, they may use the card to access their benefits for eligible items at stores.

In the Pine Tree State, recipients may use their benefits for groceries and seeds, but they may not be used for prepared meals. Additional information on the eligible items for SNAP can be found on the state's website.
