Governor Brian Kemp announced that he's giving needy families in Georgia $350 starting this week. it looks like the method by which he is given the payment out is via electronic credit card or an actual credit card depending on how the participants are registered in the portal. Either way it's going to create a problem when they try to use it. First of all they cannot withdraw any money from the card. They cannot deposit the money into their Bank account. They can only use it where Apple pay and Google pay is accepted and perhaps even their Walmart pay. outside of that people who get the electronic card will have to be savvy enough to know how to use it in order to cash it in. Seems like this is a ploy to keep much of the money on the table as a lot of the recipients will not be able to access or utilize that money based on what I've seen and read.
I called the governor's office to voice my concern and was told by his representative that the person who does receive a hard card in the mail will be able to go to an ATM and withdraw that money. However information that I have seen online from various sources including patch.com

indicates that is not the case. There is no way to withdraw cash money either electronically or via the hard card that would be useful or beneficial for the people receiving it in order to pay their rent or utilities. Thus creating a hardship. Perhaps I am missing something but it seems to me that if the Governor really want to help the needy families in Georgia he would have adopted the same protocol as the Federal Government where they did direct deposit into people's bank accounts or sent them a check in the mail. I'm just saying - I got issues. What about you?)i(
