2022-23 P-EBT Information for
Vermont Households

The federal government has approved Pandemic-EBT benefits for the current school year, until the end of the public health emergency.

Our school offers free meals to all students. This makes all students eligible to get P-EBT benefits for any days:

· They had an excused COVID-related absence, or

· There was a COVID-related school closure.

These benefits:

· Are meant to replace the value of free school meals students would have received at school.

· Will be provided to students who had an excused COVID-related absence. Benefits will also be provided to all students for any days when our school had a COVID-related closure. Getting free meals to eat at home during a closure or absence will not impact a student’s eligibility for P-EBT.

REVIEW STUDENT’S INFORMATION: Please review the information we have on file for your student.
