Money for Groceries Coming to ALL NYC Families

June 1, 2020

New York State introduces “P-EBT” (P for pandemic) – a new benefit that gives every NYC public school family $420 per child.

No sign-up is required. All families of NYC public school children, regardless of your immigration status, income, or employment, will receive this money.

If you already have an EBT card or a Medicaid card, the money will automatically be added to your card.

If you do not have an EBT card, you will receive one in the mail. If you are concerned that the State of New York may not have your correct address, please call 1-888-328-6399.

Families of non-public school students should contact the State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance to learn if they are eligible.

Learn more at on.nyc.gov/p-ebt or call New York State’s EBT Customer Service Center at 1-888-328-6399.
