Who is eligible for these unclaimed checks?

According to Palya, to be eligible for these unclaimed checks, recipients must have been active enrollees of  SNAP and/or TANF, Medicaid, or PeachCare for Kids on July 31 last year.

All recipients of the September 2022 cash assistance program should have received up to $350. Kemp says the cash assistance program was intended to help the residents of Georgia battle the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the rising inflation.
