FCPS submitted names of families eligible so you do not need to fill a form out to receive the money.  Families that currently receive SNAP benefits should have funds loaded onto their EBT cards.  Families who do not receive SNAP benefits should receive an EBT card in the mail.  Virginia Department of Education and Virginia Department of Social Services ultimately approve eligibility and issue the benefit. Families are encouraged to visit the Virginia P-EBT site to learn more. FCPS families can also contact the Office of Food and Nutrition Services at 703-813-4800.
