The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has sent notices to retailers alerting them that they can't offer special discounts to customers affected by the lapse in funding. "You must offer eligible foods at the same prices and on the same terms and conditions to SNAP-EBT customers as other customers, except that sales tax cannot be charged on SNAP purchases," the notice reads. "You cannot treat SNAP-EBT customers differently than any other customers."
