Food stamps: First direct SNAP payment worth average of $188 arrives for Georgia residents in four days

SNAP payments in the Peach State will be sent out from Aug. 5 to Aug. 23, and payments are distributed based on the last two digits of the beneficiaries' client IDs.For example, 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 money that Georgia SNAP recipients will get depends on factors such as assets, household size, and income. For a household of one, the maximum annual income is $18,954, and for a household of five, the maximum annual income is $45,682. The average benefit payment per household member in Georgia is $188.

The benefits are loaded into an electronic benefit transfer card, and the card can be used at any qualifying store to purchase eligible food items, similar to a debit card.Around 15% of Georgia’s population receives benefits for food via SNAP. The number of SNAP recipients in Georgia is approximately 1.6 million, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
