What is Pandemic-EBT?

The Family’s First Coronavirus Response Act authorized a new benefit called Pandemic EBT to help families with children who are eligible for free or reduced-price school meals. The benefit will come on an Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card, which is like a debit card. The benefits can only be spent on food items at any store that accepts SNAP (“food stamps”). P-EBT is a one-time payment that aims to help parents afford food for children who could be receiving free or reduced-price school meals if their school were open.

The federal Families First Coronavirus Response Act of 2020 provides benefits, referred to as Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT), to families of school-aged children who would have otherwise received free or reduced-priced meals if it were not for school closures.

The families at CAP will receive the approximate food benefit amount of $365.00 for each school-aged child in their family.

This benefit will be issued in the form of a P-EBT card by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (DHS).

            If you already have an active EBT (SNAP) card, the P-EBT funds will be automatically added to your card. You do not need to do anything for this to occur. 

If you do not have an active EBT (SNAP) card and your mailing address is correct in PowerSchool you also do not need to do anything to receive your P-EBT card. If your mailing address is not correct, please provide your current mailing address to ensure proper delivery of your P-EBT card.

When will I get my P-EBT?

Pennsylvania’s Department of Human Services (DHS) and Department of Education will begin to issue P-EBT benefits using information from schools within approximately 15 days of plan approval. They will issue the benefits in phases. Households that are already getting SNAP (food stamps), Medical Assistance, or TANF Cash Assistance will receive P-EBT benefits first. In the second phase, the state will mail P-EBT cards to other households with students who are already enrolled in school meals or who attend a CEP school like CAP. Households with newly enrolled students will receive their P-EBT cards throughout the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year.
