For me it doesn’t because I have SNAP.

So do I. Everyone is my household is on the case. This lady I'm with is every experienced. I trust her that she knows what she a doing. Last year all kids from my mosdos also got it very late.

You can call the number in back of the benefit card. They will only send you a replacement card of the child in question is eligible for the benefits.

It's for school aged kids so probably not younger ones on SNAP. Those with SNAP likely had the $120 loaded on their regular EBT card.
Ohio did this in July and sent out new cards, S-EBT, but they ask you to keep them for next summer as the intention is for this to be an annual program.

I got cards for kids who weren’t even born during Covid, but we were on snap when they were sent out so we got for them too. So definitely check if if kids weren’t/aren’t non school.

I got in the past when my son was in elementary. Now he is in high school and his school didn't fill out the forms. Anyway I could get it on my own?
I don't have SNAP and in NYS.

Check the website. I believe you need to be income eligible to apply on your own

this is a federal program and the same amount throughout the United States.
I think you need a school to declare that your child is elegibile for free lunch.

Correct. This is dependant on how the school handles it

I had no luck. Missed out on tons of money but there doesn't seem to be a way to get a new card because the program is theoretically over.

If you qualify for Medicaid or whatever then you can get a replacement card, but if you only qualify for pandemic but not for Medicaid no luck.

If anyone has a different experience please share because I think I tried everything but you never know.

Did anyone in NJ get their cards refilled? I don’t even know if I still have the old cards. Pretty sure we got two sets in the mail two different rounds of pebt money.

If you received P-ebt cards for your kids during covid & you saved the cards, check the balance. Cards are getting refilled now with $120 per card.

Thanx so much for letting people know, I would not have checked otherwise.
Got $120 as well!

I appreciate it!

Because Summer EBT is actually a different program (and many states gave new cards, not sure why NY didn't).
