If you are a SNAP household you will be automatically enrolled in HIP.

You can use your SNAP benefits to buy fruits and vegetables from a HIP authorized farm or vendor. Look for the HIP logo or ask the vendor if they participate in the program before you pay for your purchase.

You will receive $1 for each dollar you spend on eligible fruits and vegetables, up to a monthly limit. You can earn HIP incentives at participating:

Farmers' markets

Farm stands

Mobile markets

Community supported agriculture (CSA) farm share programs

Important: You must have a SNAP balance to earn the HIP incentive benefit.

Your monthly cap is based on your household size.

Scroll left Scroll right Household Size HIP Monthly Cap 1-2 persons $40 3-5 persons $60 6+ persons $80

Your receipt will show you the amount of your HIP incentive benefit after each eligible purchase.

This amount will be credited back to your SNAP account. Use this extra benefit right away or save it for another shopping trip.

There are no limitations on where you can use your HIP incentive dollars. This benefit may be used anywhere SNAP is accepted.

You can call the EBT customer service line at (800) 997-2555 to find out how much you earned through HIP each month.
