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.

We are holding our first conference focused on federal policy and a multi-state “learning lab” featuring innovations from across the country. Hawaii’s success will be one of our case studies to teach the nation.
We purposely made our conference hours late in the day Washington DC time, so that we could include as many folks from Hawaii as possible. So, you can join the full two-day event. But, not only do you not have to travel to Washington DC. But you won’t have to get up too painfully early to join us! The event will kick off at 7:00 am HST.
