Can I use my EBT for food at KFC?

Hi Laurie
You did not provide your state. Several states allow people with SNAP / EBT to buy hot food at some restaurants, including KFC. But it depends on the state whether they are part of the USDA Restaurant Meals Program (RMP). But look here for details including about KFC. https://www.needhelppayingbills.com/htm ... _snap.html

My name is Laurie. I lost my job of 10 years back in March and haven't been able to secure employment since then and I just got approved for food stamps and got my EBT card.
I used my severance pay to move to a small house which is by a KFC location. And have now exhausted my savings. I have nothing to my name. I get by on food stamps and church meals. Can I use my EBT card at that KFC for food too, as the fried chicken is filling and can last.
My landlord has been kind enough to help me, but she doesn't want to anymore.
Please help me locate some financial assistance or food so that don't become starving at age 60. I live less than a 5 minute walk from that KFC.
Thank you,
Laurie
