SNAP stories
Elections
The Democratic gubernatorial nominee warns Alabama could face a $174 million burden as food banks also press senators to delay shifting costs to states.
Opinion
I am hopeful that Senator Britt will work to protect SNAP and ensure eligible Alabama families are not pushed off the program.
Economy
Advocates said new work rules and looming state cost-sharing requirements threatened food access, grocers and Alabama’s strained budget.
Education
Officials said the plan aims to move adults off the sidelines by tying credentials, training and support services directly to jobs.
Congress
Under current law, Alabama may be responsible for paying as much as $261 million as a penalty for high error rates.
State
Officials said the $12 million review was federally required as lawmakers questioned mounting technology costs and anti-fraud spending.
News
With 50,000 Alabamians already off SNAP, food banks reported rising demand as advocates warned the state faced deeper cuts and no safety net.
Congress
Republicans hailed the measure as supporting farmers and rural communities, as Democrats opposed the bill citing SNAP cuts and economic concerns.
Legislature
Alabama Arise weighed policy victories and momentary setbacks from its legislative agenda during the 2026 Legislative Session.
