Description of Program and Relief
Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer for Families With Children Eligible for Free or Reduced Price School Meals
Virginia is implementing the Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (“P-EBT”) program, which is a temporary food benefit available to Virginia families with children who would have received free or reduced-price meals if schools were open. Households will receive $5.70 per eligible student per day, up to a maximum of 66 days of school closure, for a total benefit of $376 per eligible student. If your family is currently receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (“SNAP”) benefits and you are eligible for P-EBT, it will be added to your EBT card.
Schools will provide information for all eligible students directly to the Virginia Department of Social Services—households do not need to apply for P-EBT. If you believe there are eligible students in your household but you do not receive P-EBT by the middle of June, call (804) 726-7000.
