What is P-EBT?
The P-EBT program is a new food assistance program that provides extra benefits to families with children who would normally receive free or reduced-price meals at school. Families can use their P-EBT card to buy food at any store that accepts EBT cards, just like they would use a SNAP card.
How do I know if I am eligible for P-EBT?
If you have children that attend school in Georgia and receive free or reduced lunch, you are automatically eligible for P-EBT. You do not need to apply. You will receive a letter in the mail from the Division of Family and Children Services (DFCS) with information on how to activate your card and use it.
How do I apply for P-EBT?
If you are a Georgia resident and would like to apply for P-EBT food stamps, you can do so by visiting the Georgia Department of Human Services website. Once there, you will need to create an account and complete an application. After your application has been processed, you will be notified of your eligibility and given further instructions on how to receive your benefits.
