PANDEMIC-ELECTRONIC BENEFIT TRANSFER CARDS - to assist with summer food costs


The State of Vermont will be issuing Pandemic-Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT) cards to help with students’ food costs over the summer months. P-EBT benefits are funds provided on an electronic benefit transfer card that a household may use to purchase food items at grocery stores, convenience stores, online retailers, and farmers markets where 3SquaresVT (SNAP) benefits are accepted. For families receiving 3SquaresVT, P-EBT benefits will be added to existing EBT cards.  Families who have already received a P-EBT card this school year will have the Summer P-EBT benefit added to their existing card.  For other families, you will receive a special P-EBT card from the Vermont Department for Children and Families for students who qualify.  Households will receive a one-time allotment of $375 per eligible student. The Summer P-EBT benefit will be issued in late July 2021.  

 

All students enrolled in our school will receive this benefit because our school normally offers free meals to all students through the Community Eligibility Provision.  

For households who have already received the P-EBT benefit this year, there is nothing more that you need to do, unless you would like to update your mailing address or head of household.  In that case, contact Jennifer Seymour at (802) 527-0565 x3736 or jseymour@maplerun.org.  For eligible households that have not yet received the benefit this year, we will be contacting you individually to check that your mailing address, head of household, and student date of birth are correct. You can find out more about P-EBT benefits by visiting https://dcf.vermont.gov/esd/covid19/P-EBT.
