Application Period Open For One-Time Summer EBT Benefit

The Missouri Department of Social Services says Missouri families who had a student approved for free or reduced priced meals in the 2020-21 school year can apply for a one-time Summer Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer, or P-EBT, benefit that is worth $375. The P-EBT was extended to cover the summer following the school year during the COVID-19 public health emergency.

A link to the Summer P-EBT application can be found at this link.

The applications must be submitted by October 8th.

DSS will automatically review all P-EBT applications for Summer P-EBT benefit eligibility. If the student is eligible for Summer P-EBT, the one-time benefit is loaded on an existing or new EBT card in the student’s name.
