P-EBT Social Media, General - support.2harvest.org



Background: In addition to keeping people away from work, shelter-in-place orders across the country have kept children away from school for nearly two months. This has been particularly devastating for the millions of children who receive free and reduced-price meals every day through the National School Lunch Program.In response, the Families First Coronavirus Response Act authorized the implementation of Pandemic EBT (P-EBT), a federal initiative to provide students age 5-18 that currently receive free and reduced price meals with a replacement food benefit to pay for groceries while schools are physically closed.This new, temporary program provides a lump sum food benefit to families to replace benefits they would otherwise have received during the school year. Current SNAP and MFIP recipients will not need to apply, benefits will be issued automatically.Facebook posts: Did your child participate in free or reduced-price school meals?
