People affected by Typhoon Halong have until Nov. 7 to apply for SNAP replacement benefits.
The Alaska Department of health, Division of Public Assistance (DPA) has a small FAQ section on their SNAP page that addresses whether SNAP benefits will be issued in November, due to the federal government shutdown, and explains some of the DPA’s options. Updates on this issue will be posted on that page, as well as on DPA social media.
The same page also has information on assistance for those in Western AK affected by Typhoon Halong, for both SNAP replacement benefits and Individual Assistance.
Visit your nearest Public Assistance Office in Anchorage at 3901 Old Seward Highway or Bethel at 460 Ridgecrest Drive, #121, or call 1-800-478-7778 for help with SNAP or Medicaid.
