How Much Is On The Georgia P-ebt Card |
Summertime and the P-EBT is Easy
For the summer of 2023, it's a flat $120 for each eligible K-12 student. That's right, enough for a picnic basket full of goodies or a strategic raid on the ice cream aisle (we won't judge). This is a one-time shot to fuel those summer adventures.
QuickTip: Don’t ignore the small print.
Hold on There, Buster! What About the Regular School Year?
Great question, my friend! Unfortunately, as of today (June 16, 2024), the P-EBT program for the regular school year isn't up and running yet. But hey, keep an eye out on the Georgia Department of Human Services website (https://dfcs.georgia.gov/services/pandemic-electronic-benefit-transfer/summer-2023-p-ebt-benefits) for updates. They'll be the first to shout from the rooftops (or at least post a press release) when that info becomes available.
