The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded $59.0 million in formula grant funding to the Alabama Department of Human Resources under the State Administrative Matching Grants for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (CFDA 10.561) for the period of October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. These funds support state administrative expenses necessary to operate SNAP within Alabama, including costs associated with eligibility determination, benefit processing, Employment and Training (E&T) services, and EBT (Electronic Benefit Transfer) system maintenance.

As the designated state agency administering SNAP in Alabama, the Department of Human Resources utilizes this formula allocation to maintain core program infrastructure and deliver workforce development services to eligible recipients. The award represents Alabama's annual entitlement distribution under the federal SNAP administrative cost program, which operates on a recurring annual funding cycle with budgets due to the Food and Nutrition Service by August 15 each year. Recipients of this program funding are required to maintain financial records for three years and comply with single audit requirements applicable to SNAP State Administrative Expense funding.
