EBT
iPad

Quick answer

You can't buy an iPad with EBT funds, but having SNAP (EBT) qualifies your household for Lifeline. Once you're enrolled with iPhone Government, you can choose our Apple iPad offer, alone or as a phone and tablet combo, subject to availability and any disclosed co-pay. Apply online and pick SNAP as your qualifying program.
