According to the USDA, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is designed to help low-income households purchase nutritious food. This primary focus means that while an EBT card can buy groceries, it cannot be used to buy laundry stuff or other non-food household items.

For the second consecutive year, Oklahoma has opted out of the federal Summer EBT program, also known as SUN Bucks, leaving state residents without a statewide benefit. This decision means that families cannot receive summer EBT benefits directly from the state of Oklahoma, but there are exceptions through federally recognized Tribal Nations that have implemented their own programs.
