**OKLAHOMA STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
Pandemic Electronic Benefits Transfer (P-EBT) is a program that helps children who would have received free or reduced-price meals at school if not for the COVID-19 pandemic. Starting as soon as Friday, September 24, students who qualify will receive a debit card preloaded with funds that can be used for groceries. 

For the 2020-21 school year, schoolchildren must meet two important eligibility requirements: 

• Children must have been enrolled in a school district that participates in a federal meal program where meals are served at a school, and 
• Children must qualify for free or reduced-price meals based on income and have turned in the free or reduced-priced meals application to school for 2020-21, OR be enrolled in a school that participated in the Community Eligible Provision, Provision 2 or Provision 3 federal program in 2020-21.  

There is no application process for these benefits. Families will receive benefits automatically if their school has identified to the Oklahoma State Department of Education (OSDE) that a student qualifies.  

To learn more about eligibility requirements, and what role your school plays in the program, go to this website:  https://sde.ok.gov    (click on Covid-19 resources & FAQs (located on the right side of the page)
