P-EBT UPDATE

New Parent Portal

Today, July 13, DCFS launched a new P-EBT Online Parent Portal that allows parents to view their child’s P-EBT case. Information submitted by schools (name, date of birth, local student ID, school name, zip code, benefit amounts, and learning mode) are included within the portal once benefits are processed. A video and instructions on how to register, access, and navigate the portal are available on DCFS's P-EBT webpage.

New Benefits Issuance Dates

Starting tomorrow, July 14, the second set of P-EBT benefits will be loaded onto cards for eligible students. This set of benefits will cover November 2020 to January 2021. The third set of benefits will be loaded onto cards beginning August 4 and covers February 2021 to May 2021. Sample messages for families follow:

Missing issuances: If you don’t receive benefits on July 14 and/or August 4, it is possible that your child was not reported as eligible. Please direct any eligibility questions to your school. Please note that benefit amounts are dependent on your child’s learning situation on a month-by-month basis and can change if their learning situation changes.
Combined issuances: If you receive your child’s P-EBT card after the above dates, it is possible that there will be multiple sets of benefit months already loaded onto the card.
Learning mode changes: If you believe that there is an error in your child’s learning mode for a particular month, please contact your child’s school or school district to request a review. While there will be a delay, supplemental benefits will be issued if a correction is made.
Address changes: If you need to request an address change, please contact your child’s school or school system. While there will be a delay, benefits will be issued once the correction is made.

DCFS is continuing to distribute P-EBT benefits to eligible children for the 2020-2021 school year as new and updated information is provided by schools and districts.

#𝗣𝗘𝗕𝗧 𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀

𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁 - DCFS has published an updated list for parents to check the status of the information that their child’s school has submitted. To check the status of your child’s school, click here: http://www.dcfs.la.gov/pebt-school-info-status. Schools are color-coded by whether that school has submitted information to DCFS (labeled green), has information that is being processed (labeled yellow), is awaiting response/submission (labeled red) or does not have eligible students (labeled gray).

𝗙𝗹𝘆𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 - The last batch of flyers will be mailed next week to all eligible students whose schools have submitted data. Cards are being mailed within 30 days of eligible students’ families receiving flyers. If you do not receive a flyer by the end of the month, and you believe your child is eligible, please contact your child’s school.

𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗱 - Please do not throw away your child’s card. Two additional installments of P-EBT benefits will be loaded onto the card over the summer. These and any future P-EBT issuances will be received on this same card.

𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗶𝗽𝘀 - Here are more tips about activating your child’s P-EBT card:

— If your child moved to a new school district during this school year, their student ID likely will be the one issued by their current school.

— The card will show a balance of $0 until it has been fully activated. If you’ve received a card, be sure to activate it before checking the balance.

— Find more activation tips and tips for locating your child’s local Student ID # at http://www.dcfs.louisiana.gov/page/use-your-benefits.

If you have questions about your child’s school’s status, please contact the school or the school district. Contact information for schools and school districts can be found here: http://www.dcfs.la.gov/pebt-school-directory.
