The next P-EBT data submission for school year 2022-23 (SY 2022-23) is Friday, June 30, 2023, at 4 p.m. Please review Instructions for Manual Entry and Bulk Upload and P-EBT Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) prior to submitting.
P-EBT Portal Reports
Student Validation Errors
Please check the Student Data Error Report tab at the top of the P-EBT portal to view student records with Identification (ID) errors. In the Data Transfer Error Message column, error codes 1001 and 3000-3006 are student data validation errors, which means the data entered into the P-EBT portal does not match what was entered into MARSS.
Make sure the first name, last name, middle name (if applicable), date of birth and gender as well as the ID number match exactly what is in MARSS. If the student’s name, date of birth or gender were entered incorrectly in the P-EBT portal, make those edits in the student’s record.
