The NJ Department of Human Services is preparing to issue P-EBT benefits to school aged children who are eligible for Free or Reduced priced school lunch for the 2020-2021 school year. Although the timing for payment of these benefits has not been finalized by NJDHS at this time, it is imperative that parents/guardians ensure their student(s) information is up to date and current meal status eligibility is accurate with a Free/Reduced Meal Application on file.
Having this up-to-date and accurate information on file with the District will ensure that the data we provide to NJDHS is correct in order to prevent errors and/or delays with payments once benefits are issued.
What are P-EBT Benefits?
Pandemic Electronic Benefits Transfer (P-EBT) is a federal program designed to help families with children who are eligible for free or reduced price meal status at schools participating in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP), but were unable to receive them because their school was closed or operated with reduced attendance or hours for at least 5 consecutive days due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
