The deadline to apply for P-EBT food benefits has been extended to August 21. Did your child receive free or reduced-price school meals through the National School Lunch Program during the 2019-2020 school year? If so, your family may be eligible for this one-time food benefit. Visit hhs.texas.gov/pebt to learn more about P-EBT. For questions regarding eligibility or if you need help applying, contact the P-EBT Call Center at 833-613-6220. The public charge rule does not apply to P-EBT benefits. If a family thinks their child was incorrectly denied P-EBT benefits, they need to contact HHS within 15 days of receiving their denial notice by calling the P- EBT Call Center or by email at AES_PEBT_Complaints@hhsc.state.tx.us. They must provide proof they received free to reduced-price meals through the National School Lunch Program, to get P-EBT benefits. Proof includes the award letter that is sent to parents when their children become eligible for the National School Lunch Program. If children attend a CEP or P2 school, a school ID or report card can be used. La fecha límite para solicitar beneficios del P-EBT ha sido extendido hasta el 21 de Agosto. Si tu niño(a) recibió comidas gratis o a un precio reducido por medio del Programa Nacional de Almuerzos Escolares (NSLP en inglés) durante el año escolar 2019-2020, tu familia podría ser elegible para recibir este beneficio único de alimentos. Para más información sobre el P-EBT, visita: http://hhs.texas.gov/es/pebt. Si tienes alguna pregunta sobre elegibilidad o necesitas ayuda para completar tu solicitud, comunícate con el Centro de atención del P-EBT al 833-613- 6220. El reglamento de carga pública no aplica a los beneficios de P-EBT. Si solicitaste beneficios a favor de tu niño(a) y tu solicitud fue denegada por error, comunícate con HHS dentro de los 15 días siguientes de haber recibido la notificación. Llama al Centro de atención del P-EBT o envía un email a AES_PEBT_Complaints@hhsc.state.tx.us. Necesitarás comprobar de que tus niños recibieron comidas gratuitas por medio del Programa Nacional de Almuerzos Escolares para recibir beneficios del P-EBT. El comprobante puede ser la notificación que recibiste cuando tus niños calificaron para el Programa Nacional de Almuerzos Escolares. Si tu niño(a) asistió a una escuela CEP o P2, la identificación escolar o la boleta de calificaciones puede servir como comprobante.
