P-EBT Update:
Families of about 14,000 New Mexico students will receive retroactive benefits starting next week to cover the cost of free and reduced-price school meals their children missed in August and September due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Benefits for missed school meals in October and November will be distributed in April. It is important that families understand that these Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfers (P-EBT) will cover only meals an eligible student missed under these conditions:
• The student missed at least five straight days of school;
• The absences were due to COVID-19 -- either the student tested positive or the student was a close contact to a student who tested positive.
• The absences were due to the student’s district/school being shut down due to positive COVID cases.
Beginning, March 18, 2022, parents and guardians will
be able to check whether their child qualified for the latest P-EBT issuance at VERIFY PEBT Information:
https://www.yes.state.nm.us/yesnm/pandemic/pebt?execution=e1s1
If your child has a P-EBT card, please keep the card and do not destroy it. If a new address or guardian was
reported to the school, a new P-EBT card will be sent to the new address. For questions regarding your child’s
P-EBT card, you can contact NM PEBT Hotline directly at 1-833-415-0569.
