Governor Brian Kemp approved a one time $350 stimulus payment for Georgia's needy families ie anyone receiving SNAP, Medicaid, TANIF benefits before August 2022. The payment is issued on a virtual Mastercard if they are signed up for email notifications or an actual card will be mailed to them if they are signed up for mail notifications in the gateway system.
A number of people are still having issues accessing the funds on the card. I have discovered that one of the issues is that the card may be locked.
So let's say they get an email notification about the virtual card, they will need to click the link in the email which will take them to the online portal that they can view and activate the card. They will be promoted to enter their client ID and date of birth to gain access. Then they will be promoted to create a user name and pin for the account. Once that is done they can view the card number, expiration date, and CVV number which they can then enter into their Walmart, Google, or Apple pay.
The key thing that may be the main issue why a lot of people are not able to use the card is that it may be locked. In the portal there is a lock button on the profile. Make sure it is set to "unlock" otherwise it won't work.
I don't know why that feature is not set to "unlock" automatically or why it is even necessary but I am sure there is a valid reason for it. I just don't know what it is.
It just seems to me that this whole process could have been more simple if the state had just opted to do direct deposit or issue checks. There is no doubt in my mind that a lot of this money will go unclaimed either because people cannot access the card or they grow frustrated trying to use it to no avail. I'm just saying I got issues, what about you?)i(
