Pandemic-EBT


P-EBT is a federal program administered by the State of Alaska.

The Food Bank of Alaska relays information from the state and updates this site accordingly.

Currently, we do not have a schedule for benefits or exact timing, but we will continue to share updates as we receive them. Please be aware that staffing shortages are affecting processing times.

Summer benefits have been authorized and will be distributed after the 2020-2021 school year benefits have been issued. Please retain your card for future potential benefits.

All districts have been issued both semesters for SY 20-21 except for 157 students on the duplicate list that require additional research.

P-EBT is a federal program administered by the State of Alaska.

There is no P-EBT application or form to fill out for the 2020-21 school year. Eligible families will automatically receive benefits. Benefits will be issued in two rounds (for the first and second semesters). We will update this page with target dates for the first round as soon as they are available. Each eligible child will receive a new P-EBT card in the mail. Note that P-EBT benefits will not be loaded onto SNAP Quest cards as they were during the first distribution in spring 2020.

Families qualify for P-EBT if they:

  • Received free or reduced-price meals under the National School Lunch Program, OR
  • Attended a school where all students receive free meals through the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP). To see if your school offers free meals through CEP, click here.

AND

  • Attended a school that transitioned to remote learning due to COVID-19.

Some children under 6 years old may qualify for P-EBT if they are part of SNAP households and live in zip codes affected by school closures or reduced capacity.

P-EBT has been extended through the summer of 2021 and is available to all children who were eligible for free or reduced-price meals during the 2020-21 school year. This includes:

  • School children who received P-EBT benefits during the school year.
  • Children who were eligible for free or reduced-price school meals but did not receive P-EBT benefits in the last month of the school year because they attended school in person and had access to a meal service.

For more information on the upcoming round of P-EBT benefits, please see the State of Alaska’s Frequently Asked Questions for more information on the upcoming round of P-EBT benefits.

We will update this page with more information as program details are confirmed. If you would like to receive these updates via email, please submit your information below:

This page will continue to be updated with the latest information as it is made available.
