On December 20, 2022, the Georgia Department of Human Services’ Division of Family & Children Services began issuing Summer P-EBT. These benefits cover the 2022 summer months for eligible children. Please remember that children are eligible for summer P-EBT if they were enrolled in a K-12 Georgia school and approved as eligible for free or reduced priced lunch through the National School Lunch Program. All eligible children will receive $391 for summer P-EBT. Tattnall County is District Wide CEP so all children K-12 are eligible. If a parent needs to obtain proof of enrollment, that can be done through the Parent Portal at the following link.

Parents that have food stamps, but didn’t get a card, can email snap@dhs.ga.gov and provide their children’s names, birthdate, client id and the school they attend, and they can look them up in the data base. It may take up to 7-10 days before parents get a response from them, but they will look in it.

Please note that the P-EBT hotline with the Department of Health and Human Services is active. That phone number is 888-421-3281. Please contact this number if you have any questions.
