Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT) Program

The Pandemic Electronic Benefits Transfer (P-EBT) Program in Tallahassee, FL, serves as a vital resource for households with students impacted by pandemic-related school closures or distance learning, ensuring they have access to much-needed food assistance. This program provides a one-time benefit of $375 per eligible child, offering practical support for families who might be struggling to meet their nutritional needs during these challenging times. Eligible households will receive P-EBT benefits automatically; those already enrolled in SNAP will see the additional funds on their existing EBT cards, while new recipients will receive a P-EBT card in the mail with their benefits loaded. The State of Florida is dedicated to expediting the processing of Summer P-EBT benefits, with disbursements starting on November 24, 2021, and continuing into early 2022. If your school-age child previously received free or reduced-price meals but did not obtain P-EBT benefits, assistance is available to help you navigate the process.
