Morgan County Department of Human Resources (DHR) Details

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in Alabama is administered by the Food Assistance Division. Its purpose is to provide monthly benefits to low-income families/households so that they can purchase nutritious food at authorized grocery stores, farmers' markets and other retailers.

Individuals must apply for the SNAP program. An application must be filled out and all supporting documentation must be provided. When approved, SNAP benefits are issued monthly and put on an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card, which looks just like a credit card. The benefit amount depends on number of individuals in household, income, expenses, and other factors pertinent to program guidelines.

Eligibility Requirements:

Provide names for all individuals living in household
Provide proof of residence
Provide social security numbers
Provide proof of Citizenship and/or Alien Status
Provide proof of income, and expenses
Provide additional information as required

Special Note:

The Alabama Elderly Simplified Application Project (AESAP) is an application process for households where all the members are 60 years of age or older and have no earned income. Contact the office for further details.

Hello, I am a single mother going to college with only child support as my income ($1,063 per month). I have a few thousand dollars ($10,000+) saved. Will I be eligible for SNAP? I am trying to figure out if I'm automatically disqualified since I have money saved above $3,000. Thank you.

I and my family just recently moved and our rent have went up by $400. We received a letter from our landlord stating that we had to move cause they were not going to renew our lease. That required us to have to find a place to stay rather quickly. Today, my employer stressed to me that she has to terminate my position due to lack of funds within the department. We have applied in the past and were denied due to our income being to much. At this point, we need some assistance of some kind.
