Get help buying food while schools are closed.
Because schools are closed due to COVID-19, children who are eligible for free or reduced-price meals can get up to $365 in food benefits in addition to their pick-up meals from school. These food benefits are called Pandemic EBT or P-EBT.
Families that are directly-certified through school meals through CalFresh, CalWORKS, Medi-Cal or social services do not need to apply for P-EBT. They should be receiving a new P-EBT card in the mail between May 8-22. Schools and counties should be prepared to confirm that the P-EBT card is loaded with funds to purchase food.
Families who are eligible for free and reduced-price school meals through a school application or whose students are attending schools where meals are free for all students will likely need to apply for P-EBT online between May 22-June 30.
Deadline to Apply: June 30th, 2020
