Congress did not extend United States Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service authority to allow all students to eat school meals free of charge this school year, a choice that will effect around ten million children this school year, according to Forbes.

Pennsylvania families should begin receiving benefits next month to make up for missed school meals related to COVID-19 closures this school year.

Advocates say there have been close to 100,000 inquiries through the state’s P-EBT portal and call line about missing benefits.
