TENNESSEE, USA — The Tennessee Department of Human Services launched the third round of its Pandemic Electronic Benefits Transfer (P-EBT) program on Monday, according to a release.
The program provides food assistance to qualifying children who receive free or reduced school meals at school (or attend a Community Eligibility Provision School) and did not receive those meals because of virtual learning or school closure due to the pandemic, according to the department.
