Students who are eligible for Free or Reduced-priced meals in our school will get Pandemic EBT (P-EBT) funds through the 2020-2021 school year. P-EBT funds will be deposited on the 25th of each month to account for benefits in the preceding month. You can use your P-EBT benefits at any store that accepts SNAP, including online from Amazon and Walmart. Most retailers have signs saying they accept SNAP or EBT.
P-EBT benefits can be used to buy any food that can be bought with SNAP. SNAP eligible food is most foods, except prepared foods and foods sold hot. Please keep us updated on any changes in your students’ eligibility for Free or Reduced-price meals.
