The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), formerly known as food stamps, is a federal program that provides food-purchasing assistance to low- and no-income people. In Alabama, SNAP is administered by the Department of Human Resources (DHR).

To be eligible for SNAP in Alabama, you must meet the following requirements:

• You must be a resident of Alabama.
• You must have a household income that is below the federal poverty level.
• You must have a household size that is within the limits set by the federal government.

If you are eligible for SNAP, you will receive a monthly benefit that can be used to purchase food at authorized retailers. The amount of your benefit will depend on your household size and income.

To apply for SNAP in Alabama, you can either apply online or in person at a DHR office. You can find more information about applying for SNAP on the DHR website.

Here are the steps on how to apply for SNAP in Alabama:

1. Go to the DHR website and create an account.
2. Click on the “Apply for Benefits” tab.
3. Select “SNAP” from the list of benefits.

If you apply for SNAP online, you will need to provide the following information:

• Your name, address, and date of birth
• The names and ages of all members of your household
• Your income and expenses
• Your Social Security number

Once you have submitted your application, a DHR worker will review it and determine if you are eligible for benefits. If you are approved, you will receive a letter in the mail with instructions on how to activate your EBT card.

Your EBT card is a debit card that can be used to purchase food at authorized retailers. You can find a list of authorized retailers on the DHR website.

You can use your EBT card to purchase most food items, including fruits, vegetables, meats, dairy products, and breads. You cannot use your EBT card to purchase alcohol, tobacco products, or non-food items.

You can use your EBT card anywhere that accepts Mastercard. When you make a purchase with your EBT card, you will need to swipe the card and enter your PIN. The amount of the purchase will be deducted from your benefits balance.

You can check your benefits balance by calling the DHR customer service number or by logging into your online account.

You can use your EBT card to make purchases at authorized retailers anywhere in the United States. If you are traveling outside of the United States, you can use your EBT card to make purchases at authorized retailers in Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean.

If you have any questions about SNAP, you can contact the DHR customer service number at 1-800-342-9510.
