Governor Kelly has announced that children under the age of 6, in a household that received food assistance, know as SNAP in Kansas between August 2022 and May 2023 will be eligible to receive Supplemental Pandemic EBT Funds. Additionally, DCF will be providing a supplemental P-EBT benefit for the summer months of 2023. This benefit is for school-aged children who received free or reduced-price school meals during the 2022 -23 school year.
The first phase includes an auto-issuance of benefits to families who are known to DCF through a direct certification process. The second phase, in February 2024, provides families an opportunity to request supplemental benefits using an online portal. Additional information about the request process will be shared at a later date. The supplemental benefit is $120 per child. DcfCF anticipates distributing $13.6 million for 2023.
