Amazon’s program at launch supported those on a number of government assistance programs, including Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and Women, Infants and Children Nutrition Program (WIC).

In 2017, Amazon debuted a low-cost version of Prime for those on government assistance, also bringing the cost down by about half. Walmart’s discounted program comes several years after Amazon announced a similar program for Prime members. Customers will be taken to the SheerID website to fill out their eligibility form, then returned to the Walmart site or app to continue enrollment upon completion. They can then sign up for the Assist membership at the discounted rate.

To qualify, new and existing Walmart+ members must first visit /Plus/Assist to verify their eligibility through a third-party verification provider called SheerID. Those on the Assist membership will still be able to utilize the full range of Walmart+ features and perks, which include free shipping on purchases with no order minimum (excluding most Marketplace items), free grocery delivery with a $35 order minimum, free returns from home (no printing or repackaging required), savings of 10 cents per gallon at 14,000 locations (including Exxon, Mobil, Walmart and Murphy stations), a free Paramount+ subscription, ad-free video streaming with Pluto TV, mobile scan & go in-store for contact-free checkout and other special offers and savings for members only, including early access to Black Friday deals. Typically, a Walmart+ membership costs $98 per year or $12.95 per month, plus applicable taxes. The company announced this morning the launch of Walmart+ Assist, a way to purchase a Walmart+ membership at 50% off ($49 per year, or $6.47 per month) for those on government assistance. retailer’s Prime competitor, is introducing a new program designed to help those on government assistance take advantage of its membership benefits, like free shipping and delivery, gas discounts and access to streaming service Paramount+.
