The Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT) program is a financial resource for families with students who lost access to free or reduced-price school meals due to COVID-19. P-EBT provides households an EBT card with funds to spend on food at home for students. The P-EBT benefit is a one-time benefit of $313.50 per eligible student. Because ALL Rockcastle County schools operate under the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), all Rockcastle County students with an SSID are eligible for this benefit.
