Ohio Department of Education: Possible Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT) Summer Benefits Card Delay

Ohio Department of Education

Possible Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT) Summer Benefits Card Delay: A delay has occurred in mailing the new summer P-EBT cards. For summer P-EBT, a child will receive a new P-EBT card if the child did not receive the school year 2020-2021 card after February of 2021. Please be aware some households may have received a letter indicating that the new summer P-EBT card was already received. However, new cards are not likely to arrive before the last week of July.

Please note that P-EBT cards for the school year 2020-2021 received after February of 2021 should have the first $190 allocation of summer P-EBT already posted to the previously issued P-EBT card or the household SNAP card. The second allocation of $185 will occur on newly-mailed cards and existing P-EBT/SNAP cards in July. Schools are encouraged to communicate this information to households as possible.
