1. I lost my P-EBT card. Can I get a new one (replacement card)?

Yes. Visit DTAConnect.com/pebt to request a new P-EBT card. Go to the “P-EBT Card Replacement Request” page (note: on a mobile phone, click on “Menu” to see the page). Enter your information. NOTE: some information is required, like child’s date of birth. The required information will say (required) next to it. Then click submit.

Watch a video on how to request a replacement card.

2. I got a P-EBT card in the mail. How do I activate (PIN) it?

You will need the letter DTA mailed to you with your student’s case number to activate (PIN) the card. The letter was mailed separately from the card. If you lost the letter, visit the “P-EBT Case and Account Balance Information” page on DTAConnect.com/pebt. Type in your P-EBT card number to view your student’s case number. Note: some of the first numbers are already entered for you. Visit map-ebt.org/uyb for step-by-step guidance on how to activate (PIN) your P-EBT card. Watch a video on how to PIN your card.

3. Do I have to activate (pin) my student's P-EBT card by a specific date?

4. Do my P-EBT benefits roll over at the end of the month if I don’t use all of them?

Yes. The money will carry over from month to month. Benefits that are not used for over 274 days will be removed from the card.

5. How do I check my balance?

If you have a P-EBT card, you can check your balance by visiting DTAConnect.com/pebt. Go to the “P-EBT Case and Balance Information” page. There enter your P-EBT card number. Your balance will show below your P-EBT case number. You can also call the number on the back of your P-EBT card (800-997-2555). If you have a DTA EBT card, you can check your balance on DTAConnect.com, the DTA Connect mobile app or by calling the number on the back of your card. Note that your P-EBT will be added to any SNAP on your account – your balance will reflect both.

6. Where can I use my P-EBT benefits? What can I buy with them?

You can use your P-EBT benefits at any store that accepts SNAP, including online from many retailers. Most retailers have signs saying they accept SNAP or EBT. P-EBT benefits can be used to buy any food that can be bought with SNAP. SNAP eligible food is most foods, except prepared foods and foods sold hot.

7. Will getting P-EBT impact my family’s ‘public charge’ status?

No. Using P-EBT benefits does not impact your or your child's immigration status. The Public Charge rule does NOT apply to P-EBT benefits. SNAP benefits are also NOT counted in a Public Charge test. If you are not a US citizen or eligible immigrant, you can get SNAP for an eligible family member (like your U.S citizen child).

8. Can I participate in the Healthy Incentives Program (HIP) with my P-EBT benefits?

No. P-EBT benefits are different than SNAP benefits and cannot be used to receive HIP benefits.
