The P-EBT cards provide cash assistance for groceries to many families with children in Somerville Public Schools. Many families have already received or will receive a 1) letter from the Department of Transitional Assistance (DTA) and a 2) P-EBT card in the mail by mid-June.

You do not need to apply for the program. If you are eligible you will receive the letter and card in the mail – keep both the letter and card. Follow the instructions to activate your card, and make sure you keep your card because it will be reloaded with additional P-EBT funds after a few weeks.
