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.
