Georgia residents will receive payments from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program in three days as the program winds down for the month.

The Peach State, like all states, sends out payments on the same dates every month. In Georgia, food stamps are sent out beginning on the 5th and ending on the 23rd.

Recipients will usually see their SNAP benefits reloaded on the same day each month. The arrival date depends on a recipient's Social Security number, last name, case number, or account number. In Georgia, the arrival date is based on the eligible household's last two digits of the client ID associated with the program.

Recipients with client IDs ending in 00-09 receive their benefits on the 5th of the month, client IDs ending in 10-19 receive their benefits on the 7th, and client IDs ending in 20-29 receive their benefits on the 9th. Client IDs ending in 30-39 receive their benefits on the 11th, IDs ending in 40-49 receive their benefits on the 13th, and IDs ending in 50-59 receive their benefits on the 15th.

IDs that end in 60-69 receive their benefits on the 17th, IDs ending in 70-79 receive their benefits on the 19th, IDs ending in 80-89 receive their benefits on the 21st, and IDs ending in 90-99 receive their benefits on the 23rd.

In Georgia, the average payment per household member is $188, with approximately 1.6 million people, or roughly 15% of the state's population, receiving SNAP benefits. A household of three receives a maximum payment of $740, and $1,691 for a household of eight. A maximum of $211 is included for each additional household member.

The money is reloaded each month on an electronic benefit transfer card, which is similar to a debit card. Food stamps can be used at participating grocery stores, farmer's markets, or some online retailers.
