- The SCDSS Healthy Bucks program allows SNAP recipients to obtain additional fresh fruits and vegetables when they use their SNAP benefits to purchase fresh produce at participating farmer's markets. SNAP recipients who purchase at least $5 with their SNAP EBT card receive $10 in Healthy Bucks tokens to purchase additional fresh fruits and vegetables. In the wake of COVID19, the maximum Healthy Bucks incentive amount has been increased from $10 to $15 through July 31, 2020. Learn more and find participating farmer’s markets here.
