Children who are SNAP recipients will have the benefits loaded onto their current head of household’s EBT card. Children who are no longer receiving SNAP will have the P-EBT benefits loaded to their head of household’s previous EBT card, provided the state could match the child’s identity from a previous year. Eligible non-SNAP students will receive a P-EBT card or, where applicable, have the benefits loaded onto a prior P-EBT card if they received benefits in a past P-EBT issuance. If this is the first benefit issuance to an eligible child, a new card will be provided.

DHS continues to work with federal partners on various opportunities to maintain and enhance children’s access to nutritious meals. For more information on P-EBT, including a list of frequently asked questions, visit dfcs.georgia.gov/services/pandemic-electronic-benefit-transfer.
