P-EBT NEWS AND FALL SCHOOL MEALS UPDATE
Big News! Federal Funding Bill Extends Pandemic EBT and Meal Service Flexibilities through September 2021
A federal funding bill that includes an addition of nearly $8 billion in nutrition assistance has been passed by Congress and signed by the president. This funding will help ensure that all children have access to food for the entire 2020-21 school year, whether they are learning remotely or at school.
Specifically, the legislation includes the following:
- Extends P-EBT through September 30, 2021 and provides administrative funding to help states administer P-EBT more efficiently.
- Expands P-EBT to include some children in child care settings who are impacted by school closures.
- Allows the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) to extend all summer meal waivers through September 30, 2021. These waivers have enabled NYC schools to continue to provide grab-and-go meals for ALL children, no documentation or registration required.
Next Steps in the Process for PEBT
There is a process the State has to go through and this may take some time before the funds are distributed to families.
- USDA will issue guidance to the states.
- New York State will then submit a plan to USDA that will detail specifics of how P-EBT will be administered for this school year.
- The state plan will need to be approved by USDA.
- We will keep you updated as more information becomes available.
Please hold on to your P-EBT card!
