Alaska Department of Education – ESP Develops Pandemic Benefit Transfer Data Collection for SRM
May 2021
In May of 2021 ESP developed a new Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT) data collection in State Report Manager to track pandemic funding. P-EBT is part of the U.S. government response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Through P-EBT, eligible school children receive temporary emergency nutrition benefits loaded on EBT cards that are used to purchase food. Children who would have received free or reduced-price meals under the National School Lunch Act if their schools were not closed or operating with reduced hours or attendance for at least 5 consecutive days are eligible to receive P-EBT benefits. P-EBT also provides benefits to younger children in households participating in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) whose covered child care facility is closed or operating with reduced hours or attendance, or who live in the area of schools that are closed or operating with reduced hours or attendance.
