Summer 2022 P-EBT Benefits
On December 20, 2022, the Georgia Department of Human Services’ Division of Family & Children Services began issuing Summer P-EBT benefits. These benefits cover the 2022 summer months for eligible children. Children are eligible for summer P-EBT if they were enrolled in a K-12 Georgia school and approved as eligible for free or reduced priced lunch through the National School Lunch Program. As a CEP district, all students who were enrolled in Thomas County Schools in May 2022 are eligible, including graduating seniors. All eligible children will receive $391 for summer P-EBT.
The P-EBT hotline with the Department of Health and Human Services is active. That phone number is 888-421-3281.
For FAQs about the P-EBT benefits, you can visit the DHS website at https://dfcs.georgia.gov/services/pandemic-electronic-benefit-transfer
