Gov. Greg Abbott’s Announcement of One-Time Payment
The impact of the global pandemic continues to hurt millions of American families. The daily struggle has become harder because of the increasing inflation rate. Thus, millions of Americans are looking for ways to get extra money from federal and state officials.
Gov. Greg Abbott announced recently that roughly 3.5 million Texans will receive a one-time payment of $391 this December through the Pandemic-Electronic Benefits Transfer (P-EBT). This is after the U.S. Department of Agriculture approved the fifth round of P-EBT worth $1.4 billion.
Since the state was not able to participate in and distribute the Summer P-EBT, the amount of $391 will be given as a one-time payment. Other eligible and qualified Texans have already received the additional payment while others are assured that it will hit your P-EBT card before the month ends.
