2022-2023 P-EBT Benefits
Dear Parent/Guardian:
Your children may be eligible to receive a pre-loaded Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card that can be used to purchase groceries. You children may be eligible for Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT) benefits if:
1. Your child previously attended a school participating in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) at some point after the start of the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency, or the child enrolled in kindergarten as a virtual or homeschooled student in school year 2020-2021 or later, and
2. Your child is not attending a National School Lunch Program (NSLP)-participating school due to concerns about COVID-19, and
3. Your child would have been eligible for free or reduced-price meals at their NSLP school if not for their virtual or homeschool status.
To learn if your children qualify for P-EBT benefits, complete the enclosed Application for P-EBT Benefits for Homeschool and Virtual Students. Note: Applying for this P-EBT benefits does not make your child eligible to receive free meals at school if they are currently enrolled as a virtual or homeschooled student.
