For any questions regarding Pandemic EBT or P-EBT benefits program being offered through the CA Department of Social Services please visit https://www.cdss.ca.gov/home/pandemic-ebt. Please note that although this program may use your HUSD meal benefit status as a qualifying factor it is not a HUSD program. We will not be able to assist with any questions or concerns regarding the program.

These are additional benefits that do not replace any child nutrition program meals being offered by HUSD. Children may continue to receive "grab n go" meals offered by schools and community locations, even if they are receiving P-EBT benefits.
