                                Millions of Americans rely on SNAP benefits to put food on the table, but a common misconception is that EBT cards cannot be used for hot, prepared meals. While the standard rule restricts the purchase of hot food, some states have an exemption called the Restaurant Meals Program (RMP) that allows eligible SNAP recipients to use their benefits at participating fast food restaurants.
