Georgia residents who receive government assistance are now eligible for cash payments of up to $350, officials announced on Aug. 15.

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, a Republican, said he made the decision to dedicate more than $1 billion in pandemic funds from the federal American Rescue Plan Act, which Democrats passed and President Joe Biden signed into law, to the payments.
