Placeholder Image
State officials expect debit cards for more than 4,000 recipients of child support and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, including more than 50 individuals across Hall County, to arrive by Wednesday after delivery was halted. The Georgia EPPICard provides access to child support payments and TANF, a cash-benefit welfare program. Clients who requested a new or replacement debit card between Aug. 19 and Sept. 17 were affected by the delay.
