    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.


    SNAP benefits CAN be used to purchase:
    Fruits and vegetables
    Meat, poultry, and fish
    Dairy products
    Breads and cereals
    Other foods such as snack foods and non-alcoholic beverages
    Seeds and plants, which produce food for the household to eat


    SNAP benefits CANNOT be used to purchase:
    Beer, wine, liquor, cigarettes, or tobacco
    Vitamins, medicines, and item that have a supplement facts label
    Live animals (except shellfish, fish removed from water, and animals slaughtered prior to pick-up from the store)
