SNAP Benefits Distribution Schedule in Georgia
In Georgia, SNAP benefits are distributed on a set schedule every month, based on the last two digits of the client’s ID:
-
- Client IDs ending in 00-09: Benefits received on the fifth of the month
- Client IDs ending in 10-19: Benefits received on the seventh
- Client IDs ending in 20-29: Benefits received on the ninth
- Client IDs ending in 30-39: Benefits received on the 11th
- Client IDs ending in 40-49: Benefits received on the 13th
- Client IDs ending in 50-59: Benefits received on the 15th

- Client IDs ending in 90-99: Benefits received on the 23rd
SNAP benefits can be used for purchasing food, groceries for meal preparation, and seeds. However, they cannot be used to buy prepared meals from grocery stores or restaurants. The state allows the purchase of ice, water, and room temperature foods that are “not designed to be consumed in the store” using SNAP benefits.
Beneficiaries receive their SNAP benefits through an electronic benefit transfer card, which can be used to make eligible purchases both in-store and online at approved retailers.
