大流行电子福利转移（Pandemic Electronic Benefits Transfer，P-EBT）福利旨在为在COVID-19疫情相关学校关闭期间无法获得免费或减价校餐（FRPM）的学童家庭提供。在高贫困社区，所有参加社区资格规定（CEP）的学校的学生都自动有资格获得P-EBT福利;在非CEP学校，只有已经参加FRPM的学生-他们的父母提交了个人申请-有资格获得P-EBT福利。本研究使用来自4个相当大的低收入新泽西（NJ）城市的105所K-12公立学校的公开数据，调查了学校CEP参与状况与符合条件的学生获得P-EBT福利之间的关联。使用了具有logit链接、二项式族和稳健标准误的广义线性模型。在基于学生家庭收入的各级FRPM资格中，正如预期的那样，几乎所有来自CEP学校的学生都获得了P-EBT福利;如果他们就读于非CEP学校，即使他们有资格获得FRPM，也很少有学生获得P-EBT福利。我们的调查结果表明，如果不改变CEP的资格程序，大量符合条件的儿童将无法获得联邦膳食计划或类似紧急救济计划的预期健康福利。扩大CEP资格和简化学校资格的程序可能会提高联邦膳食计划和紧急干预措施的利用率，并更有效地实现其意图。
Pandemic Electronic Benefits Transfer (P-EBT) benefits were intended for families of school children who lost access to free or reduced-price school meals (FRPMs) during the COVID-19 pandemic-related school closures. In high-poverty communities, all students from schools participating in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) were automatically eligible for P-EBT benefits; in non-CEP schools, only students already participating in FRPMs—for which their parents submitted an individual application—were eligible for P-EBT benefits. Using publicly available data from 105 K-12 public schools located in 4 sizeable low-income New Jersey (NJ) cities, this study investigated the association between school CEP participation status and the reach of P-EBT benefits for eligible students. A generalized linear model with a logit link, a binomial family, and robust standard errors was used. Across all levels of FRPM eligibility based on students’ household income, as expected, almost all students from CEP schools received P-EBT benefits; significantly fewer received P-EBT benefits if they attended non-CEP schools, even when they were eligible for FRPMs. Our findings show that without changes to the qualification process for CEP, large numbers of eligible children will not receive the intended health benefits of federal meals programs or similar emergency relief initiatives. Expanding CEP eligibility and simplifying the process through which schools qualify would likely improve the uptake of federal meals programs and emergency interventions, and more effectively achieve their intent.
