    Double Up Food Bucks Expansion 

    Double Up is a simple but powerful tool: when you use your EBT card, every dollar spent on SNAP-eligible groceries earns you another dollar to buy fresh fruits and vegetables. Thanks to investments secured by Senate Democrats in previous state budget cycles, the Fair Food Network (FFN) has expanded the Double Up Food Bucks program through the end of the year to help Michiganders during this challenging time.       

    Effective through Dec. 31, 2025, Michigan’s Double Up program has increased its flexibility with the following updates.     

    • Double Up earnings no longer expire. FFN lifted the 90-day limit so shoppers can use their earned benefits whenever they need them.    
    • No daily earning cap. FFN removed the usual $20 per day limit, enabling families to earn as much as they can while shopping for fresh produce.    
    • Frozen fruits and vegetables are now eligible. Shoppers can now use Double Up on frozen options with no added salt, sugar, or oil — available at all 237 locations across the state.   

        Learn more at DoubleUpFoodBucks.org/How-To-Snap-Disruption. If you need help or have questions, you can call the Double Up hotline at 866-586-2796, 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., Monday – Friday. To find a participating location near you, visit  DoubleUpFoodBucks.org/locations
