DeKalb 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.

We are low income and my daughter has to begin virtual schooling later this month and we don't have internet. I was told to contact you guys about that and also about a T.A.N.F check. My daughter has Medicaid but I have nothing because I he office never got back to me regarding mine. My husband had a stroke and is disabled and cannot work. I need all the help I can get. I cannot send my daughter to school in fear of her bringing the virus home to my elderly husband. No internet makes it hard.

I was denied for not turning in my information, when I did turn it all in to the front desk. She did not turn it in to my worker so I was denied and now I can’t get anybody to answer or call me back.
