A bill moving through the Hawaii State Legislature could increase the buying power of people using government SNAP-EBT benefits to purchase food through the state s DA BUX program. Funding to continue the program, however, is not part of the proposal.
The Hawaii Health Food Incentive Program, also known as DA BUX Double Up Food Bucks, provides a dollar-for-dollar match to beneficiaries of the federal Supplement Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP and previously known as food stamps.
The DA BUX match only applies to purchases of Hawaii-grown fruits and vegetables, and purchases are capped at $10 per visit, per day.
