The 2021-22 Arkansas State Pandemic EBT (P-EBT) Plan has been approved by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). P-EBT benefits assist families by providing reimbursement for meals provided to children who 1) qualify for free or reduced meal benefits AND 2) were absent from school due to a COVID-related isolation/quarantine. If the answer is yes to both conditions, parents should complete the electronic form at the link below or contact your child’s school to complete an Arkansas Parent Initiated P-EBT Application.
