Because Lamar County has been declared a presidential disaster area, food stamp benefits for May were loaded onto recipients’ EBT cards on May 1. ’They’re not double benefits,’ said Department of Family and Children Services director U’Landa Barkley. ‘They were just loaded early. The next benefits will be regularly scheduled in June.’ Those who lost their cards or benefit papers during the tornado can call DFACS at 770-358-5170.
