Partial SNAP Benefits to be Issued to Eligible Georgians

ATLANTA - Based on new federal directives, the Georgia Department of Human Services will issue partial Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits for November. SNAP recipients whose distribution dates have already passed will receive their allotment by Tuesday, November 11. All other benefits will be issued according to the normal schedule for the remainder of the month.

SNAP recipients will receive up to 65% of their normal benefit amount depending on their household income and other deductions.

SNAP recipients should continue to lock their EBT cards between purchases to prevent unauthorized use and protect these forthcoming benefits. Recipients can lock their cards using the "lock my card everywhere" function via the ConnectEBT app on their Android or Apple device. Recipients who have trouble accessing the app can also log in to their account via the ConnectEBT websiteto lock/unlock their cards and check their balance.
