Food Stamps and AFDC Denials and Appeals As with unemployment benefits, you may appeal a denial of AFDC and food stamp benefits. The time limits for appeal are given on the Notice of Denial. Make sure your appeal request is in writing and you keep a copy of the request. If you wish to appeal, you should get legal advice. Summary Almost all employees in Georgia are protected only from certain kinds of discrimination.
Some employees have extra protection from other kinds of unfair treatment.
If you think your legal rights have been violated, seek advice immediately. Most employees are covered by unemployment insurance. When they lose their jobs, they may be entitled to benefits. Atlanta Legal Aid can help if you are denied unemployment benefits, or if you are granted benefits and your employer appeals. For more information, contact the Atlanta Legal Aid office nearest you .
