The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has approved the Arizona Department of Economic Security (DES) to administer Summer 2023 P-EBT in partnership with the Arizona Department of Education (ADE). Students meeting the eligibility requirements will qualify to receive the Summer 2023 P-EBT benefit of $120.

Eligibility Requirements

To be eligible for Summer 2023 P-EBT, students must be enrolled in May 2023 or the last month of the 2022-2023 academic school year in a participating National School Lunch Program (NSLP) site and determined eligible for free or reduced-price meals by the last day of the academic school year or June 30, 2023, whichever comes first. Individual student eligibility for NSLP must be determined from an allowable eligibility method specifically for school meals; for example, a household application for school meals.

Families that haven't already qualified for free or reduced-price school meals will need to apply (and be qualified) by the end of this school year (2022-2023) in order to receive the P-EBT benefits. Parents/guardians do NOT need to re-apply if they have already applied or been Direct Certified for free or reduced-price school meals.

NOTE: Students at our 5 CEP schools (Killip, Kinsey, Leupp, Summit, and Thomas) will automatically qualify and do not need to apply for meal benefits.
