Eligibility Requirements/Restrictions
On April 1, 2020, the Department of Health & Social Services temporarily suspended the restriction limiting able-bodied adults without dependents to receive only three months of SNAP benefits every three years. This restriction will resume at the end of the month following the month in which the State of Alaska’s public health emergency declaration is lifted.
On April 10, 2020, the federal government approved the Department of Health & Social Services’ application to issue, for the months of April and May 2020, the maximum allowable SNAP benefit to any SNAP-eligible households whose regular monthly benefit amount is less than the maximum monthly SNAP allotment.
