P-Ebt Mississippi Schedule
Introduction
As someone who has experienced food insecurity, I understand how challenging it can be to provide nutritious meals for yourself and your family. That’s why I’m excited to share information about the P-Ebt Mississippi Schedule, which can help families who are struggling to make ends meet access food benefits.
What is P-Ebt?
P-Ebt stands for Pandemic Electronic Benefits Transfer, which is a program that provides food benefits to families who have lost access to free or reduced-price meals due to school closures during the COVID-19 pandemic.
How does P-Ebt work?
P-Ebt benefits are loaded onto an electronic benefits transfer (EBT) card, which functions like a debit card. Families can use the card to purchase eligible food items at participating retailers.
