The second phase allows public school students, families with their PAN participants enter information on a portal that is qualified for P-EBT and the third phase is separate for private and active school students, active in the program of schoolmates.
“Each issue will be announced in full once the receipt is received so that each family is informed about the date on which the assistance will be deposited.

It is also informed that a direct assistance line will be provided for the P-EBT with the aim of attending the needs of the new participants and procuring direct communication with those who do not have access to the Internet.
