Meals and P-EBT Benefits

  • All students who attend Paterson Public Schools are able to receive breakfast and lunch at no charge throughout the year, as well as qualify for the State’s P-EBT benefit. In order to continue to receive these benefits, Paterson Public Schools must maintain its status as an approved Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) District. We maintain this status by collecting the required number of Household Information Surveys from our families.
    Your participation in this process is very important to the children of Paterson. Please complete the Household Information Survey that you received from your child’s school, or click on the link below to get a copy of the survey. If you have any questions or need assistance completing the survey, contact your child’s school. The signed survey must be submitted to your child’s school for processing.
    Thank you for your cooperation!
