On the distribution date, your food stamp benefits will be loaded onto an electronic benefit transfer card. This card allows you to conveniently purchase eligible items both in-store and online.
With your SNAP benefits, you can buy food, groceries for meal preparation, and even seeds. Georgia also permits the purchase of ice, water, and room temperature foods that are “not designed to be consumed in the store.” However, prepared meals from grocery stores or restaurants are not eligible for purchase using SNAP benefits.
Currently, the average benefit payment per household member in Georgia is $188. This vital assistance reaches approximately 1.6 million people, which accounts for roughly 15% of the state’s population.
It’s important to note that the maximum annual income allowed to be eligible for food stamps in Georgia varies based on household size. For a household of one, the maximum annual income is $18,954, while for a household of five, the maximum annual income is $45,682.
