About 2.1 million children will be eligible for the latest round. Some $6.13 billion in food benefits have already been given during the pandemic.
HOUSTON, Texas -- Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced that $626 million in pandemic food benefits will be given to families with children who temporarily lost access to free or reduced-price school meals due to COVID-19.
HHSC will provide to approximately 2.1 million eligible children in Texas for the 2021-22 school year. "We're thankful for the opportunity to continue this successful P-EBT program in Texas," said Wayne Salter, HHS deputy executive commissioner of Access and Eligibility Services. P-EBT is based on the number of days a student did not receive in-person instruction due to COVID-19 illness. Families will receive $7.10 for each eligible day.
