Many families in Washington state will start to receive Pandemic EBT (P-EBT) benefits beginning late-July and through the end of the summer. These benefits will help buy groceries while children are home during the summer months.
Pandemic EBT (P-EBT) food benefits are available to families with young children who are eligible for Basic Food benefits, as well as school-aged children who are eligible for free or reduced-price school meal programs. Families are encouraged to sign up for text message alerts about the status of their child’s P-EBT by going to textpebt.dshs.wa.gov. Just fill out a simple verification form to enroll.
Please ready more details at dshs.wa.gov/PEBT, or call the P-EBT Contact Center with questions at 833-518-0282.
