The Georgia Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), also known as the Food Stamp Program is a federally funded program that provides monthly benefits to low-income households to help pay for the cost of food. A household may be one person living alone, a family, or several unrelated individuals living together who routinely purchase and prepare meals together.
Anyone may apply for food stamp benefits. The program helps households that have limited income and resources.
An application is considered filed when it has the name of the head of household, address, date and signature of the head of household or another household member, and is received by the local county department. The application may be filed online, in person or by mail or fax to the Department of Family and Children Services.
