Do people on social security get a discount with Amazon Prime?

Yes, Amazon Prime offers a discount for people on Social Security, specifically for seniors who are eligible for government assistance.

Amazon Prime Senior Discount (Social Security & Government Assistance)

Amazon provides a discounted Amazon Prime membership for seniors who receive government assistance (such as Social Security, Medicaid, SNAP benefits, etc.). This is part of Amazon's Prime Access program.

How to Get Amazon Prime Discount for Seniors:

1. Check Eligibility:
   To qualify for the Prime Access discount, you must be eligible for a government assistance program such as SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), Medicaid, or Social Security benefits.

2. Sign Up for Prime Access:

   • Go to Amazon’s Prime Access page (search for "Amazon Prime Access" or visit the link: Amazon Prime Access).
   • You'll be asked to verify that you are eligible for a government assistance program.
   • You will need to provide proof of eligibility, which could include your EBT card (for SNAP recipients), Medicaid card, or Social Security benefits documentation.

3. Discounted Price:

   • Amazon offers 50% off the regular price of Prime for qualifying seniors. This brings the cost down to $5.99 per month (as of 2025), instead of the regular $14.99 per month or $139 per year.

4. Free Trial:
   If you are a new Amazon Prime customer, you can start with a 30-day free trial and then apply the discount if you qualify.

5. Apply the Discount:
   After verification, the discount will be applied to your Prime membership, and you will enjoy all the benefits of Prime, such as:
