• for 1 on the 2nd, and so forth, up to 9 on the 10th.

If your benefits haven’t been deposited as expected:

• Contact DFCS: Reach out to your local DFCS office. If you need to, use the DFCS Georgia contact for late benefits.
• Keep Records: Document any discrepancies, including dates and amounts.

If you’re nearing your renewal date, it’s crucial to complete this process to avoid any interruptions in your benefits. Georgia residents can manage their renewals through the Georgia Gateway portal. Make sure to:

• Submit all required documents by the renewal deadline.
• Keep your mailing address updated to receive important notices.
