The Alabama Department of Human Resources (DHR) announced on Tuesday plans to issue Summer Pandemic EBT (P-EBT) benefits.

Summer P-EBT benefits are limited to students who receive free or reduced-price meals from the National School Lunch Program by application or directly certified by DHR as SNAP/TANF.

 

Households with eligible students who received P-EBT benefits previously will access Summer P-EBT benefits on their existing EBT cards. Those who are new to the National School Lunch Program will get EBT cards in the mail.

 

Qualifying households will get $120 for each participating student.

 

Please carefully read this section…

To become eligible for Summer P-EBT, families may apply for the National School Lunch Program by completing an online meal application at https://www.myschoolapps.com/Application or click on the link on our website https://www.attalla.k12.al.us. Applications must be approved by May 16, 2023, to qualify for Summer P-EBT benefits.

 

If your child is presently receiving a free/reduced meal, you do not need to complete another form.

 

The benefits are expected to start rolling out in mid-to-late summer

Eligible families are encouraged to monitor dhr.alabama.gov for updates, including information about a timeframe for the arrival of benefits. Support specialists are available to answer questions about P-EBT by phone at 1-800-410-5827 and online at dhr.alabama.gov/food-assistance/ each Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
