7/13/2020 Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer
Families who fit the category of low-income can apply for the Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer. This program offers $285 per child for meals while schools were closed because of the coronavirus to replace free and reduced-price meals.
The Texas Health and Human Services Commission on Monday extended the deadline for applying to July 31.
Families already receiving SNAP should have automatically received benefits for children 5 to 18 years old. Families can now apply for benefits if they have eligible children under 5 years old or between the ages of 19 and 21, and they have until the deadline of July 31, 2020 to do so.
An online application can be filed at this link: yourtexasbenefits.com/Learn/PEBT.
Families can also learn more about the application process by calling a state hotline weekdays at 833-613-6220, from
8 a.m. to 6 p.m. or visit https://www.dallasisd.org/childnutrition. The webpage also contains information on the Grab-and-Go lunch program. Please note that infants and toddlers are not eligible currently, but would be eligible, and benefits would extend through the summer.
