If my state agency (WA DSHS) finds out that SNAP proceeds are being used to purchase food for storage (not immediately consumed) they will reduce or suspend the benefits. I don’t know if this policy derives from state or federal law. But if this is the plan best to not make it known (as with almost any prepping).

if that is the case could they shift day to day food expenses to EBT/SNAP and pay cash for prep foods?

How does your state figure out if you are using EBT/SNAP for long term food storage?
