SNAP benefits in Georgia begin to be distributed every month from the 5th, and usually finish being deposited on the beneficiaries’ cards on the 23rd. The payment date is determined based on the last two digits of the ID document. For example, if your ID is 123.456.789, then your reference number is 89. At this point of the month, beneficiaries from 00 to 59 have already received their payments on January 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 and 15.
But there are still several groups of beneficiaries who are waiting for their payments, and they are going to arrive in a matter of days to their food stamps EBT cards. We detail what the payment dates are for the groups that are still attentive to be able to fill their cupboards.
January SNAP Payments in Georgia to End on the 23rd
Continuing with the payment dates of SNAP benefits beneficiaries, January 17th will be the payday for beneficiaries whose last ID numbers are 60 to 69. Later, those from 70 to 79 will see the cash arrive at their EBT cards on January 19th. The last two groups are those with IDs from 80 to 89, who will see the money on the 21st, and those from 90 to 99 will be benefited with their payments on January 23rd.
Another thing that is important to know is that food stamp amounts vary depending on the size of the household. For example, while a single person can receive up to $291, a family of four (the average American family type, two parents and two children), is $973. The maximum number in the table is $1,751, which is for households of 8 people. After that number, each additional member may qualify to receive up to $219 per month.
Summer SNAP Benefits in Georgia Not to Be Provided
As soon as January 2024 arrived, a bunch of states, territories, and tribes across the US got the green light to launch a brand new program called the Summer EBT. This basically means that millions of kids who get free or reduced-price lunches during the school year won’t have to go hungry when summer break rolls around.
Unfortunately, Georgia is one of the states that decided not to join the Summer EBT initiative. Bummer for the kids there, but hopefully they’ll come around next year. In the participating states, families will receive a set amount of money on their EBT cards each month during the summer break. The money can be used to purchase groceries at any authorized retailer that accepts EBT cards.
