In storeYesHy-Vee's SNAP/EBT page describes Hy-Vee as a store that accepts SNAP benefits and says the cost of a participant's food is taken from their EBT account when they shop there. It does not list stores one by one, so check with your own store if you are unsure.[1]
OnlineYesHy-Vee says all Hy-Vee stores accept SNAP/EBT as an online payment method for grocery delivery and pickup orders, and that all Hy-Vee and Dollar Fresh Market locations accept SNAP benefits online. You need a Hy-Vee account, and a credit or debit card is also needed to reserve your order.[1]
PickupYesHy-Vee says it accepts SNAP/EBT benefits as payment for curbside pickup orders. Express pickup fees, higher-priced substitutions, weight variances and non-eligible items cannot be charged to the SNAP/EBT card and need a debit or credit card.[1]
DeliveryPartlyHy-Vee says it accepts SNAP/EBT benefits as payment for delivery orders. Delivery fees, weight variances, substitutions, tips and non-eligible items cannot be charged to the SNAP/EBT card and need a debit or credit card. Delivery is available at participating Hy-Vee stores only, so check the Hy-Vee app or hy-vee.com for yours.

Sources disagree: Hy-Vee's August 2020 press release said it could not accept SNAP/EBT for home delivery. Hy-Vee's current SNAP/EBT page says it accepts SNAP/EBT for delivery, so we treat the 2020 release as out of date.
