The total number of days your child was absent or remote due to COVID-19 for each month. We will use this information to compare to the attendance that your child’s school submitted to NYSED.

Please note: for this reason, NYS OTDA is unable to process applications for children who attended schools that did not submit attendance for the 2021-22 school year. Without an individual child’s attendance information submitted by the child’s school for 2021-22 school year, NYS OTDA will be unable to match the attendance information from the parent or guardian.
Is there a difference between a Pre-K P-EBT Application process and a K-12 Application process?
The same information will be collected for K-12 and Pre-K children except for the following:
Pre-K children will have the option to submit documentation from their child’s school in order to receive a school year benefit.
Pre-K children are eligible for a child under 6 benefit IF they were on an active SNAP case for any month from September 2021 through June 2022, and a summer benefit if they were active on a SNAP case in June, July or August 2022. These children will have received their benefit by May 1, 2023.
With documentation from the child’s school, pre-k children who received the children under 6 benefit may be eligible for an additional school year benefit if they had absences that exceed 5 days in any given month.
For Pre-K children who did not receive a benefit for children under 6, they are eligible for either a:
children under 6 benefit without documentation ($31 per month), OR
a school year benefit with documentation

If your child did receive a benefit for the 2021-22 school year in Spring 2023, and you would like to attest to other days per month that your child was absent or remote due to COVID-19, NYS OTDA will pay the difference between the benefits that have already been issued for the 2021-22 school year (which are 5 consecutive days absent or remote per month) and the reported days per month by the parent or guardian. Your child’s school must have submitted attendance that validates what the parent or guardian reports in the application.
How will I receive P-EBT Food Benefits for my eligible child/children through the application?
Eligible children currently receiving SNAP or Temporary Assistance (cash) will have their P-EBT food benefits issued to their household’s EBT card.
Eligible children who successfully accessed their food benefits for the 2019-20 and 2020-21 school years on a P-EBT Food Benefit card will receive their food benefits for the 2021-22 school year on the same P-EBT Food Benefit card.
-
All other eligible children will be mailed a P-EBT Food Benefit card with instructions explaining how to activate the card and access the food benefits.
If the P-EBT Food Benefit card(s) you used to access your child’s P-EBT food benefits for the 2019-20 and/or 2020-21 school years have been lost, stolen or damaged, the information on our Frequently Asked Questions page https://otda.ny.gov/SNAP-COVID-19/Frequently-Asked-Questions-Pandemic-EBT.asp can assist you in ordering a replacement card.
IMPORTANT: Please be sure to hold on to your SNAP EBT card, or P-EBT Food Benefit card in the event that additional P-EBT food benefits are issued to your child in the future.
