| | | If you have been identified as your institution's P-EBT Point of Contact (POC), your role is to confirm the P-EBT eligibility status of all qualifying students at your school. Visit the P-EBT POC Portal (P3) on a regular basis to review any pending cases requiring your attention. - For students with a "pending" status who are eligible for P-EBT, confirm if they received free or reduced-price school meals through the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) during the 2021-2022 school year.
- Confirm the eligible student numbers are accurate based on your enrollment list from the 2021-2022 school year.
- As you review your list of approved and pending students, you may find some need to be added to P3. You can add these students directly or ask for help if a bulk number of students need to be added. This additional care and attention will help ensure all eligible students receive their P-EBT benefits in a timely manner.

All eligible children will get a new EBT card in the mail, whether they are new to P-EBT or have received P-EBT benefits in the past. Each child within the household who is eligible to receive P-EBT benefits will receive their own letter in the mail before receiving their benefits. If a child is receiving SNAP, P-EBT benefits will not be issued onto the EBT card (also called Oregon Trail card) associated with the SNAP case. The household will receive a separate P-EBT card in the mail. For example: - If there are four eligible children in one household, the household will receive four separate letters and four P-EBT cards (one letter and one EBT card addressed to each child).
