7/25/2023 0 Comments Hhs texas gob pebt![]() The USDA Food and Nutrition Service announced the Summer 2022 Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT) program in April 2022. In anticipation of P-EBT for this school year, it is recommended that you encourage all families that may be eligible to complete an NSLP household application by the week of March 21 to give the child nutrition team adequate time to process the application.Īdditional information and materials that can be shared with families about P-EBT will be available in the coming weeks. Families must have an approved NSLP Household application or be eligible through direct certification. Student eligibility for P-EBT is based on student status in the 2021-2022 school year. There is no online P-EBT application for the 2021-2022 school year as in previous years. A combination of both cannot be used within the same semester.) (Reporting for each semester would need to be entirely based on actual absences/virtual attendance/school closures OR five or more consecutive excused absences. Alternatively, if COVID-19-related absences have not been tracked, you may include students if they have five or more consecutive excused absences. ![]() Local educational agencies (LEAs) with NSLP-eligible schools should use whatever data is available, dating back to the start of the school year. (This is different from previous P-EBT programs that provided the same benefit amount to all eligible students at the same school.) P-EBT for this school year relies on schools tracking and reporting COVID-19-related student absences, virtual attendance, and school closures for the entire year. Per federal regulations, amounts are based on the number of COVID-19-related absences a student has, the number of days the student participated in virtual learning offered because of COVID-19, or the number of days a school was closed because of COVID-19.
