Here are some popular fast food chains that accept EBT in participating states like California, Arizona, Michigan, Maryland, Rhode Island, and Illinois:

Other chains like Wendy’s, Papa John’s, Panda Express, Blimpie, Carl’s Jr., and Arby’s also accept EBT at some locations under RMP. To use EBT at these fast food places, you need to be eligible under the RMP program, which generally includes elderly, disabled, or homeless individuals. Not all locations of these chains accept EBT, so it’s good practice to check before ordering. In summary, many major fast food chains accept EBT at select locations in RMP states, mainly California, Arizona, Michigan, Maryland, Rhode Island, and Illinois. Some of the most widespread participating chains are Burger King, McDonald’s, Taco Bell, KFC, Domino’s, Jack in the Box, and Pizza Hut. Eligibility and acceptance depend on state and local restaurant participation.
