FAQ

P-EBT (Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer) is a federal program that provides food benefits to children who missed meals at school due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Eligibility varies by state but generally includes school-aged children who qualified for free or reduced-price meals and missed school due to COVID-19 closures or virtual learning.

Benefits are typically loaded onto a P-EBT card mailed to the family, or added to an existing EBT card. States manage the distribution schedules.
