Snap for schools program

P-EBT food benefits will be issued as monthly in-person school attendance information provided by schools and school districts is reviewed and processed. It can take several weeks to distribute P-EBT food benefits to all of the eligible children in a school. Please check back at a later date as the information is updated.

It is important that you follow the directions for selecting a PIN to be able to access your food benefits. Important: Replacement P-EBT Food Benefit cards should only be requested when the previously issued card has been lost, stolen or damaged.

Food benefits will be issued as monthly in-person school attendance information provided by schools and school districts is reviewed and processed. Please note that P-EBT food benefits will remain available and accessible on your NYS Medicaid card for at least days from the date they were issued. An EBT card looks and is used like a bank debit card to buy food at authorized retail food stores.

They are not SNAP benefits, and your local department of social services has no information about your eligibility for these benefits, and no information about when you will receive these benefits if you are eligible. Only children who receive free lunch at school are eligible for P-EBT food benefits.

Households with homeschooled children do not usually receive free school lunches and therefore are not eligible for P-EBT food benefits.

Homeschooling is not the same as attending school remotely. Please contact your school district with questions concerning access to the National School Lunch Program. The P-EBT food benefits are intended for you to use to buy food for you and your child[ren]. USDA advises that if you and your family have received a P-EBT Food Benefit card and do not want to use the benefits to buy food, you should dispose of the card by cutting through the magnetic stripe on the card or shredding the card and discarding it in a secure manner.

We appreciate your interest in supporting the nutrition needs of those in your community during these difficult times.

For more information please visit: coronavirus. We are therefore no longer accepting inquiries about eligibility for P-EBT food benefits for the school year. However, if you have already sent us your information, your inquiry is in process and you will be notified by OTDA of the outcome of our review.
