SNAP Replacement Benefits Available for Those Affected by Recent Storms 

The Mississippi Department of Human Services (MDHS) reminds SNAP recipients who experienced a power outage over four (4) hours due to recent storms to apply for SNAP replacement benefits through the MDHS website or their local county office.  

To request a replacement of SNAP benefits, households must submit a Replacement SNAP request to their local MDHS office within ten (10) days of the date of the power outage. 

To access the replacement request form follow this link MDHS-EA-508. The completed form may be submitted by mail, email, or uploaded to the MDHS website using the document upload feature. 

If assistance is needed, the Economic Assistance Customer Service Center can be contacted at 800-948-3050.

The MDHS website and social media accounts (Facebook and Twitter) are updated regularly with the latest replacement information.
