The Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) launched the Pandemic EBT application for families on May 1 at https://abe.illinois.gov/abe/access/. P-EBT is a new special benefit that can help families buy food for their school age children who would normally receive National School Lunch Program (NSLP) free or reduced-priced meals when schools are in session. All families with school age children who attend schools approved for Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) are eligible for the benefits as they receive NSLP meals at no charge.

Families that currently receive SNAP benefits do not need to apply for P-EBT benefits. These additional P-EBT benefits will be loaded into Illinois LINK EBT accounts along with regular SNAP benefits. Families who do not currently receive SNAP benefits but do have children who receive NSLP free or reduced-priced meals will need to apply directly with IDHS. The fastest way for families to receive benefits is to complete the application for P-EBT available online (Click “Apply for Benefits” at the link.) A paper application in English and Spanish is also available and can be submitted by email to DHS.FCS.PEBT@illinois.gov. IDHS created a flyer to help families with the application process. We are asking NSLP sponsors to share this flyer with their families.

ISBE is working in partnership with IDHS to ensure that this validation is available for all NSLP sponsors, both public and non-public. Thank you to all the schools that participate in the NSLP for submitting data by the April 17 deadline. We are asking that you please continue to verify that count, so that all families who are eligible can access the additional financial support provided by P-EBT. Instructions for this crucial verification can be found online.

If NSLP sponsors need assistance with the data submission/update, please email the ISBE Nutrition Department at cnp@isbe.net. If families need technical assistance with the application, please direct them to email IDHS at DHS.FCS.PEBT@illinois.gov.

Solicitud de EBT pandémica disponible

El Departamento de Servicios Humanos de Illinois (IDHS) lanzó la aplicación Pandemic EBT para familias el 1 de mayo en https://abe.illinois.gov/abe/access/. P-EBT es un nuevo beneficio especial que puede ayudar a las familias a comprar alimentos para sus niños en edad escolar que normalmente recibirían comidas gratuitas o de precio reducido del Programa Nacional de Almuerzos Escolares (NSLP) cuando las escuelas están en sesión. Todas las familias con niños en edad escolar que asisten a escuelas aprobadas para la Provisión de Elegibilidad Comunitaria (CEP) son elegibles para los beneficios ya que reciben comidas NSLP sin cargo.

Las familias que actualmente reciben beneficios de SNAP no tienen que solicitar los beneficios de P-EBT. Estos beneficios adicionales de P-EBT se cargarán en las cuentas de Illinois LINK EBT junto con los beneficios regulares de SNAP. Las familias que actualmente no reciben beneficios de SNAP pero tienen niños que reciben comidas gratuitas o de precio reducido de NSLP deberán presentar una solicitud directamente con IDHS. La forma más rápida para que las familias reciban beneficios es completar la solicitud de P-EBT disponible en línea (haga clic en "Solicitar beneficios" en el enlace). También hay disponible una solicitud en papel en inglés y español, que puede enviarse por correo electrónico a DHS.FCS.PEBT@illinois.gov. IDHS creó un volante para ayudar a las familias con el proceso de solicitud. Estamos pidiendo a los patrocinadores de NSLP que compartan este volante con sus familias.

ISBE está trabajando en asociación con IDHS para garantizar que esta validación esté disponible para todos los patrocinadores de NSLP, tanto públicos como no públicos. Gracias a todas las escuelas que participan en el NSLP por enviar datos antes de la fecha límite del 17 de abril. Le pedimos que continúe verificando ese conteo, para que todas las familias que son elegibles puedan acceder al apoyo financiero adicional provisto por P-EBT. Las instrucciones para esta verificación crucial se pueden encontrar en línea.

Si los patrocinadores de NSLP necesitan asistencia con el envío / actualización de datos, envíe un correo electrónico al Departamento de Nutrición de ISBE a cnp@isbe.net.Si las familias necesitan asistencia técnica con la solicitud, por favor, envíenlas por correo electrónico a IDHS a DHS.FCS.PEBT@illinois.gov.
