Some parts of Michigan are exempt from the new work requirements for food assistance — and others are not. Here’s how to tell what applies to you.

If you permanently reside in one of these exempt counties or cities, you do not need to fulfill new work requirements and will receive SNAP benefits as usual:

📍 Counties: Alcona, Alger, Arenac, Cheboygan, Iosco, Iron, Luce, Mackinac, Montmorency, Oceana, Ogemaw, Oscoda, Presque Isle, Roscommon, Schoolcraft

🏙️ Cities: Bay City, Detroit, Eastpointe, Flint, Jackson, Saginaw
If you do NOT permanently reside in one of these areas, you may need to meet work requirements or meet an exemption. Many people still meet exemptions based on caregiving, health, school, and many more.

If you do not meet the requirements or meet an exemption, your SNAP benefits may be limited to three months every three years.

📞 Call your local MDHHS office to learn about exemptions: 1-844-464-3447

The Alger Community Food Pantry would like to thank the Salvation Army for their collaboration this Thanksgiving season by providing 60 turkeys for us to distribute to families coming into our pantry (distribution has ended now). It was a great opportunity to help families in need!
