THE BUZZ!
Uber Eats to Accept Food Stamps As Payment Option for Grocery Delivery Next Year
Lastly,
Uber Eats will launch a new payment option next year that will allow SNAP recipients to use their benefits to purchase groceries off the Uber Eats app.
According to a statement, the company is implementing this new payment option to reduce “barriers to fresh groceries” in places with little access to quality food.
Uber also announced that it will soon be accepting flexible spending account cards, Flex cards, and state waiver payments made through Managed Medicaid and Medicare Advantage plans.
Instacart and Amazon have already incorporated food stamps as payment for online food purchases. In 2019, the USDA launched a program that allowed food stamps to be used for online food purchases, and the program has since expanded to all 50 states.
II bet there will be a lot of Uber eating going on after this announcement.
