STATE TO AGAIN ISSUE P-EBT CARDS

The state of Pennsylvania will be issuing Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT) cards again to families of students who participate in the Free and Reduced lunch program and are attending school in a virtual or hybrid setting.
The cards are expected to be mailed out beginning in mid-May.
The United States Department of Agriculture is increasing the P-EBT benefit by approximately 15 percent, providing more money for low-income families. Through P-EBT, eligible school children receive temporary emergency nutrition benefits loaded on EBT cards that are used to purchase food.

Please Note: The District does not make any determination on who receives a P-EBT card or how much is received. All questions related to the P-EBT card should be directed to the Department of Human Services Pandemic EBT Helpline, 484-363-2137.
