SNAP, formerly called food stamps, helps low-income Alaskans buy food, with benefits loaded onto an Alaska Quest Card that works like a debit card at approved stores. It is administered by the State of Alaska Division of Public Assistance; you can apply online through the Alaska Connect Portal or by submitting a paper Application for Services. Most applications must be processed within 30 days.

SNAP and ATAP use the same Public Assistance application. Select the help you need. Complete a SNAP Interim Report only when you receive the notice and it is due; it is not a renewal application.
