The Georgia Department of Human Services - a government agency based in Georgia, United States - has issued a legal document known as GA Form 508. The form's purpose is to create a Food Stamp program that helps low-income families afford food by providing monthly assistance. Those who can benefit from the program might consist of a single person living alone, a family, or a group of unrelated people who buy and cook meals together regularly. Food stamp benefits are available to anybody; however, you must be a resident of Georgia State to benefit from the program. The program benefits low-income and resource-constrained households.
What is GA Form 508?
GA Form 508 is a printed form filled out by those seeking to benefit from the Georgia State government food stamp program. You can receive it by contacting the State Office. Suppose printed copies of Form 508 are temporarily unavailable. You can download a word format of the document online and fill it in that case.
What's GA Form 508 Used for?
GA Form 508 is used to conduct Food Stamps, Medicaid, and TANF evaluations over the phone or in person. This application form is also an optional form that you can use to assess the A.U.'s program eligibility. It informs the A.U. about immunizations, school requirements, domestic abuse, and civil rights, reducing case managers' workload.
You can use this form to file a combined renewal/application for the Food Stamp/Medicaid/TANF programs or just for the Food Stamp Program (F.S.). Your Food Stamp renewal will not be refused or cancelled if your renewal/application for another program is denied or terminated. The Georgia Department of Human Services will conduct a separate eligibility judgment for your Food Stamp renewal.
