P-EBT Benefits DHS Issues Additional 2022 Benefits to Eligible Children The Georgia Department of Human Services’ (DHS) Division of Family & Children Services began issuing a third round of 2021-22 P-EBT benefits in December, this time covering the 2022 summer months for eligible children. Families with SNAP-enrolled children ages 0-5 and 5 who turned 6 during the school year, as well as K-12 students who participated in the National School Lunch Program, are eligible for the one-time $391 benefit issuance. 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 can 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 Please click the link below for frequently asked questions and answers including eligibility, replacement cards, benefits not received, etc.: https://dfcs.georgia.gov/services/pandemic-electronic-benefit-transfer P-EBT FAQs
