The Families First Coronavirus Response Act established the option for states to administer Pandemic EBT (P-EBT) benefits. The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 has allowed states to continue providing P-EBT for families into School Year (SY) 2021-2022.

For SY 2021-2022, P-EBT benefit amounts for students eligible for free/reduced-price meals will be determined by the number of eligible COVID-related absences a student has in a month. On May 25, 2022 eligible Massachusetts families will receive a retroactive P-EBT for COVID-related absences for the period of September 2021 through April 2022. The remaining monthly payments for May and June will be issued on the 25th of the subsequent month.
