Eligible K-12 students who attended school in person will receive P-EBT for school meals missed between August 2022 and February 2023 of the 2022-23 school year on April 21, 2023. P-EBT is a COVID-19 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 $8.18 per each COVID-19 related excused absence day. The total amount of P-EBT benefits will vary for each eligible child.
P-EBT benefits for March 2023 through May 11, 2023 will be issued at a later date.
If the child already has an active P-EBT card, benefits will be added to that card. If a new P-EBT card is needed, please visit www.connectebt.com or call 1 (888) 997-9444. If the child has not received P-EBT before, a new EBT card will be mailed to their home based on current school records.
Parents can login to the P-EBT Parent Portal at https://onedhs.tn.gov/parent to view P-EBT benefits, link their child(ren), verify, or change address, and sign up to receive text message notifications.
If a parent or guardian has questions that are not answered through the P-EBT website or P-EBT Parent Portal, they may call the P-EBT assistance line at (833) 419-3210.
