Policy and Advocacy Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT) Summer UPDATE: We have exciting news to share. While we know it’s now fall, Pennsylvania’s summer 2022 P-EBT plan has been approved! These benefits will help families cover the cost of school meals that their eligible children missed out on during the summer months. Eligible children will receive benefits in a single payment of $391 to cover the entire summer. To learn more about Summer P-EBT eligibility and payment distribution, visit our website. - To learn more about P-EBT for school aged kids in the 2021-2022 school year, which was distributed to families to purchase food to replace free or reduced-price meals that eligible students missed due to COVID-19 related absences, check out our P-EBT Basics Flyer or download translated versions of the flyer, here.
Public Charge Rule UPDATE: On September 8, the Biden Administration published a final Public Charge Rule, which confirms eligible immigrant families can access and benefit from the SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), WIC (Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children), Medicaid, and housing assistance without negative repercussions to their immigration status.

White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health: A date for the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health has finally been announced! As a reminder, the White House is hosting this conference with the goal of ending hunger and increasing healthy eating and physical activity by 2030. It’s been more than 50 years since the first and only White House Conference on Hunger, which led to the expansion and creation of programs like SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), school meals, and WIC (Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children). This year, the conference will be held on Wednesday, September 28th and will be livestreamed to ensure that everyone can participate. We hope that you will all participate in this important event! |
