Georgia SNAP

Hey Juan! I just wanted to add my voice to everyone else's - you're definitely not alone in this! I had a similar situation a few months back where my interview letter got stuck in my apartment building's mail room for almost a week. When I called to reschedule, the caseworker told me they get calls about late mail delivery literally every single day. She said it's become such a common issue that they have a specific protocol for it now. One tip I'd add to all the great advice here: if you have any kind of mail delivery confirmation (like if you can check online with USPS tracking), that can also help document when it was actually delivered vs. when it was sent. But honestly, even without that, they're super understanding. The most important thing is that you're calling to reschedule instead of just missing it - that shows good faith and responsibility on your part. You've got this! 💪

Juan, I totally feel for you on this! I had almost the exact same thing happen to me earlier this year. My SNAP interview letter was postmarked on a Tuesday but didn't show up in my mailbox until the following Monday - by then I only had like 2 days notice for the interview! When I called to reschedule, I was super nervous they'd think I was lying or making excuses. But honestly, the caseworker was SO understanding. She told me that mail delays have been a huge issue lately, especially in certain zip codes around Georgia. She rescheduled me for the following week without any hassle at all. My advice: call as early as possible (I called right at 8 AM), have your case number ready, and just be straightforward about what happened. Mention the postmark date vs when you actually received it - that really helps show it wasn't on you. Also, be flexible with your schedule if you can, because they might have earlier slots available from cancellations. You're doing everything right by calling ASAP instead of just missing it. That shows you're taking it seriously, and they definitely notice that. Hang in there! 🙏
