Anyone gotten P-EBT cards for kids in Contra Costa County yet? Still waiting for 10-year-old

I'm in Contra Costa too, and they're definitely rolling them out by alphabetical last name groups. My kids (last name begins with C) got theirs about 3 weeks ago. They should be sending them through April, so I wouldn't panic yet. If your daughter qualifies through school lunch program, you could try calling the P-EBT hotline at 877-328-9677 to check status. They might be able to tell you what batch her card is in. Also double-check your address is current in the school system since that's where they pull the mailing info from.

My sons still waiting to and his name starts with T. Been checking mail everyday for weeks!!! So frustrating when foods so expensive now. Called the number but just got recordings.

my daughters got hers last week! we're in pittsburg area of contra costa. last name starts with M so they seem to be going in order just slowly

Just to clarify some misinformation here - P-EBT cards are NOT the same as regular CalFresh EBT. P-EBT is specifically for school children who qualify for free/reduced lunch programs, while CalFresh is the regular food assistance program based on household income. For P-EBT distribution in 2025, California is sending cards in batches based on both alphabetical order AND school district, which is why some people with different last name initials might get them at different times even in the same county. The current distribution window for Contra Costa is January through April 2025. If you don't receive the card by the end of April, THEN you should contact the P-EBT hotline to request a replacement. Make sure your address is updated in your child's school records, as that's where they pull the mailing information from. Also, the P-EBT cards come in plain white envelopes that can look like junk mail, so check carefully!

Does anyone know how much is supposed to be on these cards? My daughter finally got hers yesterday (last name R) and it only had $375 on it. I thought it was supposed to be for the whole school year which would be way more???

Update: I called the P-EBT hotline this morning and after waiting for almost an hour, they told me my daughter's card was mailed last week and should arrive within 10 days! Thanks everyone for the advice. And they confirmed what someone mentioned - they're doing it by both alphabet AND school district. Will update again when we actually get it!

make sure u activate it as soon as u get it!!! and pick a pin u wont forget my friend lost her pin and had to go thru whole process again

just got my sons card today!!!! so they really are still sending them. check ur mail careful cuz like someone said it looks like junk mail totally
