Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT)

Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT)  – School Year 2021-2022  

P-EBT TDA banner

 

Some Texas families who lost access to free or reduced-price meals during School Year 2021-2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic will receive P-EBT food benefits.

More information about this year’s P-EBT benefits, including eligibility requirements and benefit amounts, will be released in mid-April.

One requirement for P-EBT is that students must be certified as eligible for free or reduced-price meals through the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) at their Texas school during the 2021-2022 school year. Receiving free meals at school does not automatically qualify a child for P-EBT.

Should I submit a Meal Application for my child (ren)?

You DO NOT need to apply if:

 Your child has been directly certified, lives in a household approved for SNAP, Medicaid, TANF, attends our Head Start program or has foster, migrant or homeless status.

You DO need to apply if:

You believe your family is income eligible for free or reduced-price meals.

Not sure if you are income eligible?

Use the Income Eligibility Calculator here: www.SquareMeals.org/IEC  or click here for the Income Eligibility Guide.

The District will send more information out as soon as we receive it in mid-April. You may submit an application now. We will process and send your results via email to ensure that if your student is eligible for P-EBT there will be no interruption in benefit issuance.
