The Tennessee Department of Human Services has announced the details on the second distribution of Pandemic Electronic Benefit (P-EBT) Program, which is a relief program that provides nutritional benefits to children eligible for the National School Lunch Program who may have missed meals due to COVID-19.
Eligible children will receive approximately $120 in Summer P-EBT benefits, plus the amount of any additional benefits they were eligible for from March 2023 – May 11, 2023. The total amount of benefits will vary for each eligible child. If the child already has an active P-EBT card, benefits will be added to that card.
If parents have not received P-EBT Benefits by June 16th or believe their child’s benefits do not reflect the number of school meals missed, they can submit a P-EBT Administrative Review request via the P-EBT Parent Portal. Requests must be made between June 19, 2023 and June 30, 2023 at 5 P.M CST 2023. Parents may also call the P-EBT assistance line at (833) 419-3210. More information can be found on the Tennessee Department of Human Services website.
