GA DCFS EBT: Tips for reaching a real person to confirm address?

I found a way to solve EBT address confirmation issues, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z57AWjGF99E

Hey OP, just curious - how long have you been trying to get this address change done? I'm in the same boat and wondering how long I'm gonna be stuck in this limbo 😅

Listen up, folks. I've been dealing with EBT for years, and here's what I've learned: 1. Persistence is key. Keep calling, even if it feels hopeless. 2. Try different times of day. Sometimes mid-afternoon is less busy. 3. Be prepared when you call. Have all your info ready. 4. If you can't get through by phone, try email or their online portal. 5. As a last resort, go in person. Bring a book, you might be waiting a while. Remember, the system is designed to be frustrating. Don't give up! Your benefits are your right.

Hey OP, just a heads up - make sure you document everything. Write down who you talk to, when, and what they say. It's saved my butt more than once when dealing with these bureaucratic nightmares. Good luck!

Pro tip: if you can't get through to a person, try selecting the Spanish option. Sometimes those lines are less busy and they usually have English-speaking agents too.

Anybody know if theyve updated their system recently? I heard they were supposed to make improvements but idk if that actually happened

Have you tried going to the office in person? Sometimes that's faster than trying to call.

Ugh, I feel your pain. I've been trying to get through for weeks now. It's like they don't want us to actually use our benefits or something 🙄

Anyone else feel like were living in a dystopian novel? Fighting the system just to get basic needs met smh

Have you tried calling right when they open? I heard that's the best time to get through.

Just as a reminder, if you're struggling with these systems regularly, you might want to reach out to your local representative to share your experiences. They might be able to help push for changes or at least bring awareness to the issues.

Hey OP, have you considered contacting local advocacy groups? Sometimes they have resources or contacts that can help expedite issues with benefits. It's worth reaching out to them for assistance.

I found a way to actually get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works. Here's a video about it: https://youtu.be/nZambXh8Woc

Have you guys seen that new meme about EBT hold times? It's like "Time you spend on hold with EBT" and it's just a picture of a skeleton 💀 Too real man, too real
