When are they releasing the p-ebt for the kids
A) I’m glad you asked about the P-EBT benefits for the kids. P-EBT is a program that provides temporary emergency nutrition benefits to eligible school children and younger children in SNAP households who lose access to free or reduced-price meals or snacks at school or child care due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), P-EBT benefits will be available to school children in the summer of 2023. However, assuming that the public health emergency expires on May 11, 2023, as the Administration currently anticipates, summer 2023 P-EBT benefits will not be available to SNAP-enrolled children in childcare. For families who need to apply for P-EBT food benefits, an online application will be available on May 15, 2023. Benefits will continue to be issued until September 30, 2023.
The release date of the P-EBT benefits may vary by state. For example, in Tennessee, P-EBT benefits for August 2022 – February 2023 were released on or around April 21, 2023. You can check your state’s website for more information on the P-EBT program and the eligibility criteria.
I hope this helps you understand the P-EBT program better. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me.
