If you are an Alabama EBT card holder and you attempted to use your card after 10 PM last night, you probably already know that the EBT system was down overnight.  The Alabama Department of Human Resources says that the outage was planned so that the state could update their system with new features for EBT card holders.  The statewide system was scheduled to be restored at 6 AM this morning and should be working today.  In addition to the new features on the state’s EBT system, the Alabama DHR says that the system will now have enhanced safety features to protect Alabama residents using their EBT cards.
