Understanding the Georgia EBT Deposit Schedule
For families relying on SNAP benefits, knowing the EBT deposit schedule can be critical for budgeting. In May 2026, benefits will typically deposit based on the last digit of your case number. For example, if your case number ends in a 0, your benefits may be deposited on the 5th of the month. If it ends in 1, expect your funds on the 6th, and so on through the 10th. This schedule helps families plan their expenditures.
