Can you add your EBT Card to Apple Pay?

Yes, it is possible to add your EBT card to Apple Pay. However, it is important to note that not all states and government assistance programs that offer EBT benefits currently support the use of Apple Pay or other mobile payment systems.

If your EBT card is eligible for use with Apple Pay, you can add it to the Wallet app on your iPhone or other compatible device. To do this, open the Wallet app and tap the "Add Card" button. From there, you can follow the prompts to add your EBT card and complete the setup process.

Once your EBT card is added to Apple Pay, you can use it to make purchases at retailers that accept Apple Pay. Simply hold your iPhone or other compatible device near the payment terminal and authorize the payment using Touch ID or Face ID.

It's important to keep in mind that the rules around using EBT benefits for purchases still apply when using Apple Pay. You can only use your benefits to purchase eligible items, and there are restrictions on what can be purchased with EBT funds. It's a good idea to review the rules and guidelines for your specific EBT program to ensure that you are using your benefits appropriately.

None of the US states have “PS” as state abbreviation? Did you mean Pennsylvania (PA)?

This site says that is Pennsylvania doesn’t support it yet at this time; “Keep an eye out for updates from your local EBT office or the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services.”
