SNAP benefits released in time for the holidays

The Georgia Department of Human Services has announced it will issue full Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits for November.

The release of SNAP benefits is based on new federal directives from the U.S. Department of Agriculture following last week’s final passage and signing of the federal government funding package, which ended the shutdown and re-opened the government.

SNAP recipients whose distribution dates have already passed and who received partial benefits will receive the remainder of their allotment by this week. All other SNAP benefits will be issued in full according to the normal issuance schedule for the remainder of the month.
