2023 Summer P-EBT Payments
Children who receive free or reduced-price meals under the National School Lunch Act are eligible to receive P-EBT benefits for Summer 2023.
P-EBT also provides benefits to younger children in households participating in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) whose covered child care facility is operating with reduced hours or attendance.
On January 30th 2023, the Biden Administration announced that the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE) declaration will end on May 11, 2023.
As a result, children under 6 in households participating in SNAP will not be eligible for Summer 2023 P-EBT benefits.
However, school children who attended an NSLP-participating school at the end of school year 2022-23 will still be eligible for summer 2023 P-EBT benefits.
Additionally, a majority of states were required to submit P-EBT benefits, for both the school year and the summer, must by September 30, 2023.
However, many states are experiencing delays with Summer P-EBT benefits.
This is causing some 2023 Summer P-EBT deadlines to be pushed back to October and even November.
