NEW FOOD BENEFITS FOR ELIGIBLE KIDS
If you qualify, you may soon be able to apply for a Pandemic-EBT (P-EBT) card for schoolchildren. The P-EBT is a cash food benefit for kids who may be missing school meals due to the pandemic. Each eligible child will receive an electronic benefits card with $365 to spend on food at grocery stores, and other establishments that accept EBT. Children qualify if they were eligible for free or reduced priced school meals, but their school is closed due to the pandemic.

P-EBT cards should automatically be mailed to families of children who currently receive Medi-Cal, CalFresh, CalWORKs or foster care benefits.

If you don’t automatically receive a P-EBT, you can apply beginning on May 22 by filling out a short application. If a child attends a school where all children automatically receive free school meals, your child is likely eligible for the benefit, even if you wouldn’t otherwise qualify. All applications must be completed before June 30.
