• Pandemic - EBT Family Support Money For Families- Update

  Children who lost food benefits due to COVID-19 school closures can access meals through the Pandemic Electronic Benefits Transfer (P-EBT) program. P-EBT benefits require no application and will be automatically issued to kids who would have received free or reduced-price meals through the federal school lunch program. Benefits should have already been issued or will be soon. If your child is eligible but your household has not received a P-EBD card and/or benefit by mid-August, call NYSOTDA at 1-833-452-0096.

   

  New York Letter- PEBT  Pandemic EBT (Pebt Cards) - The Federal Government is using funding left from  Free/Reduced lunch program to assist families facing  food insecurities during this pandemic. PEBT cards loaded with $420 per NYC student will be mailed to every DOE parent of a child in K-12 to reflect the cost of their lunches while school was closed.
