P-EBT provides supplemental food assistance to students who have temporarily lost access to free or reduced-price meals at school due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The goal of the program is to make sure no child goes hungry by missing out on school meals. Your family may be eligible for new EBT benefits to pay for food during the months your student is distance learning. Who qualifies for P-EBT Benefits?
