Information About Summer P-EBT Benefits

The Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT) helps families cover the cost of breakfasts and lunches their children would have been eligible to receive for free or at reduced price through the National School Lunch Program.

The American Rescue Plan authorizes the continued distribution of P-EBT benefits over the summer months to assist households with children who may have otherwise received meals at school or in a child care setting .
