A) I’m sorry to hear about your diagnosis. I can help you with food stamps and Medicaid.
You may be eligible for food stamps and Medicaid in Georgia if you meet certain income and asset requirements. According to the Georgia Department of Human Services, you must:
- Be a U.S. Citizen or Legal Non-Citizen
- Live in the state of Georgia
- Meet the SNAP Income Limit
You can use this online tool to check your eligibility and apply for benefits: https://gateway.ga.gov/access/
You can also call 1-877-423-4746 or visit your local county office for more information and assistance.
Food stamps
Your food stamps may have been cut off because you are no longer working. However, you may still be eligible for food stamps if you are receiving cancer treatment. You can reapply for food stamps and explain your situation to the caseworker. You may also be eligible for a hardship exemption, which would allow you to continue receiving food stamps even if you are not working.
To reapply for food stamps, you can visit the Georgia Department of Human Services website or call 1-888-424-4373.
Medicaid
Medicaid is a government health insurance program for low-income people. You may be eligible for Medicaid if you have a low income and are receiving cancer treatment. You can apply for Medicaid online or by calling 1-800-729-1069.
Other resources
There are also a number of other resources available to help you with food and financial assistance. Here are a few:
- Atlanta Cancer Care Foundation provides emergency financial assistance for cancer patients in the Atlanta area.
- Cancer Financial Assistance Coalition connects cancer patients with financial assistance programs.
- Good Samaritan Health Center offers medical, dental, and mental health services on a sliding fee scale.
- Georgia Cancer Info provides information about cancer resources in Georgia.
I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
