Clarification on P-EBT Eligibility Requirements for 2021-22
Both schools and students must meet eligibility requirements for P-EBT.
A school is eligible if:
- It participates in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) or Seamless Summer Option (SSO) in the 2021-22 school year (SY), and
- It has been closed or operating with reduced attendance or hours for five consecutive instructional days due to a COVID-19 impact in the 2021-22 SY. Each school needs to meet this threshold only once in the 2021-22 SY.
After the school eligibility is met, students are eligible if:
- They qualify for free or reduced-price meals, and
- They are not physically present in school due to a COVID-19 impact.
Individual students do not need to be out for five consecutive instructional days to receive P-EBT benefits. Students receive P-EBT benefits only for the days they do not receive a school meal because they are not physically present due to a COVID-19 impact.
