Wilcox County DFCS Details

The Georgia Food Stamp Program, which is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly known as SNAP, is part of a federal nutrition program that helps low-income households purchase nutritious food.

Individuals must apply for the program and provide all the required documentation. After the application is filed, the individual must have a telephone interview with a case manager and be prepared to answer questions related to the household situation.

The amount of benefit provided is based on income, resources and the number of individuals in the household. SNAP benefits are issued monthly on an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card. This EBT card can be used just like a debit card at authorized grocery stores and retailers.
