Beneficiaries of SNAP will have the convenience of using their benefits through an electronic benefit transfer card that is prepaid. The Alabama EBT card can be conveniently used at grocery stores just like a debit card. This allows recipients to purchase eligible food items such as meat and poultry, dairy products, bread, and drinks. However, ineligible items such as pet food, alcohol, and household products like soap and paper products will not be covered.
According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, approximately 761,100 residents of the state, which accounts for roughly 15% of the population, receive aid from SNAP as of 2022.
