You are covered for up to $132 per month for OTC and Grocery items. This benefit does not carry over from month to month and cannot be used to buy items for your dependents or anyone else.

Before you use your OTC and Grocery card, you need to activate it by visiting www.otcnetwork.com/Member or calling us. Once activated, you can use your OTC and Grocery Card for eligible purchases at participating stores and bodegas. No PIN or signature is required for in-store purchases — it works just like a pre-paid card. Go to the checkout lanes, and simply swipe the card for payment. If you need to pay for prescriptions, you’ll need to use a different card. This card is for eligible OTC and Grocery item purchases only.

For a list of eligible items, please see the 2021 OTC and Grocery Program Catalog.
