- Families who are already receive free or reduced-price school meals must complete the simple application starting June 30 through August 31 or the beginning of the new school year.
- Families with school-age children who have recently lost jobs or income may complete an application for free or reduced-price school meals through their school district before June 30 and before you apply for P-EBT. They may also apply for Basic Food before June 30 online (www.WashingtonConnection.org) or by phone (877–501–2233 — DSHS Customer Contact Center). If they are approved for Basic Food, they will also receive P-EBT benefits for their school-age children.
