food service directors, EMIS coordinators, principals, administrative staff and countless other professionals in submitting the Pandemic-Electronic Benefits Transfer (P-EBT) data during the 2021-2022 school year. Although P-EBT is permitted by federal law
for summer 2022, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has not yet issued guidance for P‑EBT benefits distribution. However, we anticipate the process will be similar to summer 2021. To be mindful of schools soon closing 2021-2022 operations, the collection of
all free and reduced-price eligible meal student data is occurring now in anticipation of guidance and program approval. The purpose of this email is to request your assistance in identifying students to receive this important benefit this summer.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

$7.10 (the federal reimbursement rate for breakfast, lunch and snack). It is unknown how many P-EBT benefit days students will receive in summer 2022.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
