ABC News’ Rebecca Jarvis talks about maximizing the money from your stimulus beyond taking care of necessities.a new effort on Monday that will feed more than 30 million children over the summer by expanding the Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer benefits funded by President Joe Biden's American Rescue Plan.
“The expansion of P-EBT benefits over the summer is a first-of-its-kind, game-changing intervention to reduce child hunger in the United States," Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said in a statement. “By providing low-income families with a simple benefit over the summer months, USDA is using an evidenced-based solution to drive down hunger and ensure no child has to miss a meal.
Previous summer P-EBT pilots proved successful at"reducing severe food insecurity as well as improving the quality of children’s diets," the USDA said."Recent research by the Brookings Institute confirms P-EBT also has a measurable impact on food insecurity, decreasing food hardship faced by low-income children by 30% in the week following benefit issuance."
