New York makes $2.2 billion available for children that were unable to access free school meals due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It provides $132 in food benefits for each month in remote learning and $82 in food benefits for each month in hybrid learning during the 2020-21 school year. Eligible children in families that are enrolled in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program will see their benefits posted to that household’s regular EBT card while others will be notified on how to get the benefits.
