Buying healthy foods with your Extra Benefits Card
It can be hard to pay for groceries. To help make it easier, we’ve teamed up with NationsBenefits® to offer an Extra Benefits Card.
With your card, you have a benefit amount (allowance) to spend each month on approved healthy foods.*
How it works
With your Extra Benefits Card, you have a benefit amount to spend each month on approved healthy foods.* You can buy fruits, veggies, meat and seafood. You can also get pantry staples and healthy grains like flour, spices, bread, pasta and more!
Always select credit when using the card – a PIN is never needed.
You can use the card in person at eligible retail stores such as:
- Albertsons
- Giant Eagle
- Kroger
- Schnucks
- Walmart
You can also shop online or by phone.
Online: Visit Aetna.NationsBenefits.com, log in and shop for approved food products.
By phone: Call 1‑877‑204‑1817 (TTY: 711) and speak to a representative who can assist you with your order. Orders placed online or by phone are delivered within two days.
Monthly benefit amount
The benefit amount is available on the first day of each month. If you don’t use your benefit amount by the end of each month, the unused amount will carry over to the next month.
