Around 92,100 people, or 12% of the state's population, receive food stamps in Alaska, and the average payment per Alaskan household member per month is $271.

In Alaska, households are split into three regions: Rural I, Rural II, and Urban. Each region produces a different maximum monthly payment.

In the Rural I region, the maximum payment for a household of one is $477. A household of four can receive up to $1,591, and a household of eight can receive up to $2,865. For each additional person, a maximum of $368 is added.

For Rural II households, maximum payments are $581 for one, $1,937 for four, and $3,487 for eight, with $436 added for each additional member.

Eligible households living in the Urban region will receive a maximum payment of $374 for a household of one, $1,248 for a household of four, and $2,246 for a household of eight. After eight, the program adds a maximum of $281 for each additional member.

Each month, SNAP benefits are loaded on to an electronic benefits transfer card called the Alaska Quest Card. Households can purchase groceries, snacks, and seeds or plants with food stamps but can not buy alcohol, tobacco, vitamins, live animals, prepared foods, or any nonfood household items.
