SNAP beneficiaries will be able to use their benefits to order groceries through Uber Eats starting in 2024. The change intends to improve access to fresh groceries, especially for vulnerable groups including the elderly, those who live in food deserts, and those who have transportation issues or impairments.
Uber Eats To Accept SNAP
Officials from the company reaffirmed their dedication to removing obstacles to accessing high-quality food. They took delight in being able to give SNAP recipients an easy way to get access to fresh food through their app by utilizing Uber’s technological facilities and wide-ranging local delivery networks. Uber announced that it intends to support Managed Medicaid and Medicare Advantage programs by allowing a variety of payment options, such as FSA cards, Flex cards, and other waiver payments for its services. By 2024, these payment methods are anticipated to be available and accepted. Uber intends to launch an AI-powered assistant eventually this year by utilizing the ability of artificial intelligence.
Other Apps Accepting SNAP
With the help of this ground-breaking feature, users will be able to quickly repurchase prior meals, browse specials at well-known restaurants, and learn about new foods and cuisines that are available on the app. Customers who receive food assistance from government-funded programs will be able to pay for meal delivery through Uber Eats, Instacart, and Amazon, among others. Nearly 41 million Americans who receive SNAP benefits are expected to benefit from this change in accessibility and convenience. By enabling users to use their benefits to purchase groceries through the Uber Eats app, the U.S. SNAP, which supports millions, will expand its reach with this new effort. It is expected to go into force in the next year.
