Will there be another P-EBT 0-6 reload in 2025? Running out of benefits

i got a text from the county last week saying there will be a reload for eligible kids sometime in june but didnt give exact date. check ur phone for messages maybe they sent u one too?

The P-EBT program for children under 6 has been extended through the fiscal year 2025, but the issuance schedule is determined quarterly based on federal funding approvals. The last official announcement I saw indicated benefits would be reloaded every other month, but they've been somewhat inconsistent. The next scheduled reload should be happening in mid to late June for most eligible households, but it depends on when your children's birthdays fall in the quarter. If you're struggling while waiting, I'd suggest applying for regular CalFresh benefits if you haven't already - you can receive both simultaneously if you qualify. The income limits increased about 30% this year due to cost of living adjustments.

I HATE how they keep us guessing with these benefits!!! 🤬 They drop money on the card whenever they feel like it with NO warning and expect us to budget without knowing when the next payment comes. My daughter's card had $0 for TWO MONTHS last year then suddenly got $450 with no notice. The whole P-EBT system is a joke. And good luck getting anyone on the phone who knows anything about it.

I got a letter yesterday saying theres another P-EBT benefit coming in late June but it also said something confusing about "adjusted eligibility criteria" based on summer program participation? Not sure if thats for regular P-EBT or the 0-6 program. The letter mentioned something about household income recalculations too. Anyone else get this notice? Im so confused by all these different EBT programs!!

my sons p-ebt just reloaded yesterday!!! check your card maybe yours did too!

this happened to me last year where i thought i was getting pebt then realized it was actually regular calfresh that i was confusing it with. are you sure your talking about pebt and not regular calfresh? my worker told me pebt is different and you dont need to reapply for it it just comes if your eligible but the amounts are different. like $125 per kid or something

UPDATE: Our P-EBT card just got reloaded this morning! $198 for each child, which I think covers June and July. So they're definitely starting to issue the June payments now. Check your cards everyone!

For anyone else following this thread who might be confused about P-EBT eligibility: 1. The P-EBT 0-6 program is continuing through fiscal year 2025 (ends September 2025) 2. Children must be under 6 years old 3. Your household must receive CalFresh benefits or be newly eligible under the expanded income guidelines 4. Benefit amounts for 2025 are $33 per child per eligible month 5. Payments come every other month, covering two months of benefits ($66 per child typically) 6. The schedule for 2025 has benefits being issued in January, March, June, August, October, and December If you're having trouble accessing your benefits or have questions about eligibility, contact your county CalFresh office. The P-EBT customer service line (877-328-9677) is often overwhelmed, so reaching your direct county worker is usually more effective.
