Walmart has launched a new program to help people who receive government assistance.
The retailer announced Walmart+ Assist, a program that offers qualifying people a half-priced membership to its Walmart+ program.
Walmart+ launched in 2020 and gives shoppers free shipping, free grocery delivery, gas discounts and video streaming on Paramount+. Typically the membership costs about $98 a year, but with Walmart+ Assist, that is cut by half to about $49 a year or $6.47 a month.
To qualify for the discounted rate, you have to verify your eligibility through SheerID. You can be a new member, existing member, canceled member, paused member or even a trial member of Walmart+. If you get your membership through a third party, however, that will need to be canceled before signing up for Walmart+ Assist.
The program was designed for people who receive government benefits through various programs such as SNAP, WIC, Medicaid, SSI, TANF, TTANF, NSLP or LIHEAP.
