HOW DO YOU APPLY FOR BENEFITS? To apply for benefits, the head of household, a household member, or an authorized person representing the household may complete a paper application, apply online or by phone. A paper application can be received from your local DFCS office, from the DFCS website, or by calling the Customer Contact Center at 1-877-423-4746 to request that an application be mailed to your home address. You may also call the Customer Contact Center to apply by telephone. You may copy the blank application found on the website at: www.dfcs.georgia.gov/snap food-stamps. Complete the form, mail, fax, or take it to your local county office. HOW DO YOU APPLY FOR BENEFITS ONLINE? You may also apply for SNAP benefits online via the Gateway website at https://gateway.ga.gov/access/. Applicants who create an account online may check the status of their application and may also check their eligibility for other DHS programs via the Gateway Pre-screening Tool. Additionally, Gateway allows SNAP recipients to report changes in household circumstances and to renew their benefits online.
