The Food Research & Action Center has created a P-EBT for Children Under 6 on SNAP Outreach Toolkit to help inform eligible families on how to receive benefits. Due to the pandemic, millions of young children who were attending child care facilities in person lost access to free and reduced-price meals

During the 2020–2021 academic year, children under 6 years old who were enrolled in SNAP at any time since October 1, 2020, are eligible for P-EBT benefits if they lived in or attended child care in an area where at least one school or child care facility closed or operated with reduced attendance or hours. Children under 6 who were enrolled in SNAP in the last month of the school year, or at any point over the 2021 summer period (as defined by the state), are eligible for summer P-EBT benefits.

The toolkit includes

• customizable social media posts and graphics;
• sample newsletter language;
• a flyer;
• a public service announcement template for radio and television;
• other sample outreach materials from states to share through your channels; and
• materials in Spanish and Simplified Chinese.
