Tab/Accordion Item Where are my benefits?North Carolina began sending out Summer P-EBT payments on July 20, 2022. The Summer 2022 P-EBT benefit is $391 per eligible child and is deposited on your Food and Nutrition Services EBT or P-EBT card.

For instance, some children became eligible after the first benefits were sent. Here's what to do:
