How to Sign up for the Medicaid Prime Discount on Amazon
Whatever you say about Amazon, which now offers a premium discount for Medicaid recipients, the facts are clear: Low-income individuals and families can now save $ 7 on a monthly membership to Amazon’s 2-day delivery service – and all the other goodies that come with. This.
If you have an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card because you are getting help from Supplemental Nutritional Assistance (SNAP) or Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) – if you name two – or if you are in Medicaid, sign up for Amazon Prime discount is simple:
- Open the Amazon Prime Membership page for Government Aid shoppers.
- Either sign in to your existing Amazon account (which can include an account with an active Prime membership at the regular price) or create a new Amazon account.
- If you are using Medicaid, Amazon will ask you to upload an image of your (valid and valid) Medicaid card. You will also need to select the issuing state.
- If you have an EBT card, you will need to enter your EBT number, select the issuing state, and upload an image of your EBT card.
The discounted Amazon Prime plan is $ 72 per year, which is $ 17 less than Amazon’s regular $ 99 annual plan. It’s still not quite as profitable as the company’s $ 49 annual Prime Student Membership, but we can’t blame poor, financially distressed Amazon for doing whatever it takes to survive, or anyone else in that position .
Amazon limits this Prime discount to 48 months. You will also need to re-validate your EBT card or Medicaid status every 12 months for the discount to persist. And no, you won’t be able to share that cheaper Prime account with anyone else in your family , and you won’t get any discounts on additional Amazon food delivery services like AmazonFresh or Prime Pantry.
