SNAP and TANF cases due for renewal in April 2021 will be due by the date requested on notices. The Medicaid program has extended renewals due April 2021 through August 2021 for another six months. Those renewals will now be due October 2021 through February 2022.

As DFCS continues to plan for the implementation of the federal Family First Prevention Services Act, the division will convene the Prevention Services Workgroup in spring 2021 to help inform the selection of evidence-based practices to include in Georgia's Title IV-E Prevention Plan. The Prevention Services Workgroup is charged with informing DFCS' vision and plan for a statewide expansion and alignment of services that can safely prevent children and youth from entering foster care. Workgroup membership is open to all interested providers and will include DFCS staff and representatives from sister agencies. Learn more here.
