Frequently asked questions
- What is the Colorado SNAP Produce Bonus?
In 2023, Colorado was one of three states to receive grant funding from the USDA to start an electronic healthy incentive program. Colorado’s program is called Colorado SNAP Produce Bonus (also known as eHIP). Through this program, SNAP shoppers will receive a 100% reimbursement for any qualifying purchase of fruits and vegetables directly back to their EBT card at the time of purchase. They may receive up to $20 per transaction, and a maximum of $60 per month. This bonus amount may be used to purchase any SNAP eligible items, and will automatically be applied to future purchases. The Produce Bonus program will be starting at select locations in Colorado during the summer of 2024.
- Who is eligible and how do I sign up?
There is no sign-up for the Colorado SNAP Produce Bonus program. If you live in Colorado and get SNAP benefits, your household will automatically receive a bonus when you buy eligible fruits and vegetables from participating locations.
- How often can I get this bonus?
You may be reimbursed for spending up to $20 per transaction. There is no daily or weekly limit on transactions but you may only be reimbursed for up to $60 per month. The $60 limit starts over on the 1st day of each month.
- Is there a market near me where I can receive the bonus?
Be sure to check our map above to find a participating location near you. Markets are being added all the time all over Colorado.
- How can I spend my bonus?
You may spend your bonus at any SNAP retailer on SNAP eligible items. This bonus amount may be used to purchase any SNAP eligible items, and will automatically be applied to future purchases.
- What fruits and vegetables are eligible?
Eligible foods include fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as frozen fruits and vegetables without added salt, sugar or fat. At farmers markets, you can also receive a bonus for buying dried fruits and vegetables without added salt, sugar or fat; and dried beans.
- How is this different from Double Up Food Bucks?
With Double Up Food Bucks, when you buy SNAP eligible foods at participating locations, you receive up to $20 per day in vouchers to spend on fresh fruits and vegetables. For more information and to see a list of participating locations, visit the Double Up Food Bucks Colorado website.
- When does the program start?
The program begins Aug. 1, 2024, at participating markets.
- Who can I contact for more information or if I have a question?
If you have questions about the program or about your incentives, you can contact us by email at CDHS_SNAP_ClientProduceBonus@state.co.us.
Retailers and farm vendors
- Information for farm vendors
Participating farm vendors will need to be SNAP authorized merchants, have an active FNS#, and have Point of Sale equipment that is able accept SNAP and issue Produce Bonus incentives.
You must be authorized by the state to participate in Colorado SNAP Produce Bonus. Simply becoming SNAP authorized and having POS equipment will not allow you to issue Produce Bonus incentives.
During the 2024 season, participating farm vendors:
- Will not accept SNAP vouchers/tokens.
- Can accept Double Up Food Bucks vouchers. (Note: The market will stop issuing Double Up Food Bucks vouchers when Colorado SNAP Produce Bonus begins.)
Customers will shop directly with fruit and vegetable vendors by swiping their SNAP EBT card at the participating farm vendor’s table/booth.
Direct-marketing farmers can get free equipment to accept SNAP EBT transactions and issue Produce Bonus incentives through the Colorado Department of Human Services or the MarketLink grant.
- FAQs for farm vendors
Can I process SNAP EBT and offer Colorado SNAP Produce Bonus at different locations?
Participating farm vendors can use their SNAP EBT equipment to accept SNAP at other locations including your own farm stand or other markets. We just ask that if you are wanting to use your SNAP EBT equipment to accept SNAP directly at other markets, you get approval from that market manager first.)
What if I sell at multiple locations at the same time?
If a participating farm vendor sells at multiple locations at the same time, would like to accept SNAP EBT as a form of payment, and issue Produce Bonus incentives, you will need more than one EBT POS terminal (one for each location).
