Pandemic EBT Benefits (P-EBT)

For families receiving free or reduce school lunch benefits this link to the California Department of Social Services explains how to you can apply for additional food support during this pandemic. These food benefits are called Pandemic EBT or P-EBT benefits. P-EBT benefits help families in California buy food when schools are closed because of the coronavirus emergency.

More than 34 states have been approved for P-EBT, which provides families with additional funds for purchasing food while school is closed. These funds are in addition to meals provided through emergency meal services. In California, schools may help spread the word by educating families about the following:

• Children are eligible for P-EBT if their school is closed and they:
  • attend a Provision 2 or CEP school, or
  • are Directly Certified for free and reduced-price meals, or
  • are otherwise eligible for free and reduced-price meals.
• If eligible families have not received a P-EBT card in the mail they can apply online between now and June 30. No paperwork is required.
