Fax Your Georgia Benefits Paperwork
The fax line each Georgia agency publishes for Medicaid and CHIP, SNAP, unemployment, state leave benefits, and state tax, with what that office asks you to put on every page.
10 pages free every month. No credit card.
Where to fax it
No Georgia agency below publishes a general fax line for its program's documents: 2 run their programs through local offices, so the number is your own county's. Each row says what its line takes.
The office asks for your case number on every page. Put it on every page you send, and keep the fax receipt. An office that cannot match a page to a case has to set it aside, and the receipt is what proves you sent it before the deadline.
Call before you send. Agency fax lines change and some stop answering. A short call confirms the number and whether that office is the one holding your case.
Form 297, the Georgia application for SNAP, TANF, and Medicaid, says the completed application goes to the local county DFCS office by hand delivery, fax, or mail, and gives dfcs.georgia.gov/locations as where to find that office.
Form 297 can be filed with only the name, address, and signature of the applicant, and the Division of Family and Children Services asks for the rest of the form so the case moves faster.
A faxed Georgia unemployment appeal carries the release date of the determination being appealed, the docket number of any previous Appeals Tribunal decision, the claimant name with only the last four digits of the social security number, a contact address and phone number, and the reason for the appeal, and is due within 15 days of the date on the determination.

What the fax costs on FaxTerra
This is what FaxTerra charges to send it. It is not a fee the office charges.
Every FaxTerra account gets 10 free pages a month, and a page to a US fax number counts as one. A renewal or verification packet of up to 10 pages sends free, with no credit card.
Free pages reset on the 1st. If a second packet in the same month takes you past 10 pages, a FaxTerra Lite pack covers it, with no subscription.
Questions
What do I put on every page I fax to a Georgia agency?
Your case or client number, your name, and your date of birth, unless the row below says the office asks for something else. A page that arrives without a case number has to be matched by hand, which is the slowest path through any agency.
Can I fax a Georgia agency without a fax machine?
Yes. Upload the pages from your phone or computer, enter the office's fax number, and send. The agency receives it as a fax. Every account gets 10 free pages a month, and a page to a US fax number counts as one.
What if the fax line does not answer?
Call the number in that office's row before you try again. A line that rings and never connects will not start working on a retry, and the office can tell you whether the number changed or whether it wants the document another way.
My row says the program runs through county offices. Where do I fax it?
To your own county office, whose fax is in the state directory linked in that row. Georgia does not run that program from one address, so there is no statewide number to give you, and a number from another county will not reach your caseworker.
Is this an official Georgia site?
No. FaxTerra is a fax service. Georgia and the office you are writing to set the rules and decide your case; every number and requirement here is linked to the agency's own page under official sources.
