NO APPLICATION NEEDED!!!
-Students will not receive benefits right away
-Each eligible child will receive payments totaling $391 to cover both June and July. The payment will be issued in two installments, one for $195 and a second for $196.
-Eligibility includes all LPPS students enrolled in May 2022.
HOW WILL SUMMER P-EBT BE ISSUED?
Summer P-EBT benefits will be issued on Louisiana Purchase EBT cards in each eligible student’s name. Benefits will be issued on the same card that was received for the 2020-21 or 2021-22 school year.
Students who did not receive P-EBT for this or last school year will be mailed a card with Summer P-EBT benefits already loaded onto it.
WHAT IF I NEED A NEW CARD?
If the card has been lost, stolen, or damaged, a new one can be requested through the P-EBT Parent Portal, by calling the EBT customer service line at 1-888-997-1117 or through the LifeInCheck mobile app.
WHEN WILL STUDENTS GET SUMMER P-EBT?
Benefits for the Summer P-EBT program will begin being issued in late summer and into the autumn months as schools and school districts submit eligibility information to DCFS. Included in that eligibility information is the verification of eligible students who attended school in May 2022. For this reason, most students will not receive benefits right away.
To check the status of each child’s case, individuals can check the P-EBT Parent Portal.
