121-5 DELIVERY OF PAYMENTS

There are three methods of delivering cash (ATAP Alaska Temporary Assistance Program, APA Adult Public Assistance, Senior Benefits and General Assistance) payments:

• Electronically via EBT Electronic Benefit Transfer Card (SNAP Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and ATAP Alaska Temporary Assistance Program)

• Direct Deposit (ATAP Alaska Temporary Assistance Program, APA Adult Public Assistance, and Senior Benefits payments)

• Warrant (APA Adult Public Assistance, Senior Benefits, and General Assistance payments)

Warrants are mailed to the payee and the address should be one at which he or she customarily receives mail. Payments may not be mailed to him or her in Care of (C/O) a creditor and they may not be forwarded from one address to another.

The payee may request that warrants be delivered to him or her in a specified way, but the Division cannot, on its own authority, determine that delivery is to be made to any other person, or place other restrictions upon its delivery except as provided for in protective payee situations.

Questions regarding direct deposit and EBT Electronic Benefit Transfer card benefits can be emailed to the Benefit Issuance & Recovery Unit at DPA_EBT@alaska.gov
