Understanding Your Benefit Amount
Curious about how much assistance you might receive? It varies. SNAP determines your payout based on several factors — household size, income, and assets all play a role. Here’s a peek at what you could expect:
A single-person household could receive up to $291, while a family of five might get as much as $1,155. Managing a household of eight? The cap hits $1,751. And for each additional family member, add another $219 to the pot.
Shop Smart with SNAP
Once your benefits are in, what’s on the shopping list? Georgians can use their EBT — similar to a debit card — at participating stores to snag a variety of eligible items:
- Replenish your stock of meat, fish, and poultry
- Choose from a selection of dairy products
- Pick up bread, cereals, and essential groceries
Remember, some items like pet food, alcohol, and non-food household necessities are a no-go with SNAP funds.
