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.
