Georgia House backs second income tax rate cut since 2018

Less than an hour after passing a state budget that included spending cuts, the Georgia House backed a plan Tuesday to cut the state income tax rate for the second time since 2018.

[…] The Georgia Budget and Policy Institute, an Atlanta think tank that opposes the bill, said it would reduce state revenue by $383 million and mean small income tax increases for 538,000 low- and middle-income households.

DHS states: “Households may continue to redeem benefits issued to their electronic benefit transfer (EBT) card prior to Nov. 1, 2025, at any SNAP authorized retailer.” 

However, as DHS reported before, the November SNAP benefits will be suspended until federal funds are available.
