ODJFS is planning to issue PEBT benefits June 16, 2022 for children eligible for April benefit for the current school year.  In addition to the regular monthly school lunch file there were be a second file on June 21st  for the Summer PEBT program.   If the school data matched the children’s demographic to an existing SNAP case, the PEBT benefit will be deposited into the existing EBT account.  Children who are not matched to an existing SNAP case or are Non-SNAP recipients will receive their P-EBT card within 7-10 days. It will be one card per child, siblings were not grouped together. In previous issuances we have included children in child care but issuance to that population is on hold at this time while FNS drafts additional guidance.

The SNAP emergency allotments are scheduled to be issued June 23, 2022. Clients will be able to access benefits June 24, 2022. Future emergency allotments are dependent on FNS approval during a public health emergency and details will be shared as they are available.
