Get Ready for Your SNAP Benefits in Georgia!
Families and individuals across Georgia can expect to receive their payment from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) for August in just three days. SNAP is distributed through the Georgia Department of Human Resources, and benefits are issued from Aug. 5 to Aug. 23, hitting recipients’ accounts based on the last two digits of a beneficiary’s client IDs.

Here’s how the rollout works: those with client IDs ending in 00-09 receive their benefits on the fifth, client IDs ending in 10-19 receive their benefits on the seventh, and the rollout continues until the 23rd, when client IDs ending in 90-99 will receive their benefits.
The amount of payment you’ll receive depends on variables such as assets, household size, and income. For example, the maximum annual income for a household of one is $18,954, while for a household of five, it’s $45,682.
On average, each household member in Georgia receives a benefit payment of $188. A household of four can receive a maximum benefit of $939, and for each additional member after eight, the program adds $211.
Did you know that around 15% of Georgia’s population receives benefits for food via SNAP? That’s approximately 1.6 million people, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
When it comes to using your benefits, you can purchase eligible food items at participating grocery or convenience stores using an electronic benefit transfer card, which works just like a debit card.
If you’re a Peach State resident interested in applying for SNAP benefits, you can visit Georgia’s Department of Human Services website under the Division of Family and Children Services section or call 1-877-423-4746.
