P-EBT Summer 2023 Toolkit

Communications Leaders, 

Please see the below message from NCDHHS on Summer P-EBT. 

--

The first issuance, to include the majority of eligible families, is targeted to begin at the end of July, with one catch-up payment in August. A crucial change this summer is that only students attending school in-person are eligible; young children/fully virtual and homeschooled students are NOT eligible to participate because of the federal rules for the program this summer. The benefit will be a one-time payment of $120.
