Important Announcements
PEBT Benefits expunge from the child’s card 274-days after the benefit is issued. Summer 2022 benefits would tentatively expunge around May 23, 2023.
Once benefits have been expunged from the card – they cannot be reloaded or added back. Expungement means the benefit period has expired and the funds have gone back to the federal government.
Previous Issuance Expungment Dates
Thank you for your interest in the West Virginia PEBT program. At this time, all benefits for 2021-22 program year for eligible children have been issued. All summer 2022 benefits have also been issued for eligible children. The dispute and resolution periods have also concluded.
There are no future benefit issuances scheduled at this time.
Benefits issued do have expungement dates – according to when they were issued. This means that any unused benefits on cards by the follow dates will be removed from cards and released back to the US Treasury in accordance with federal rules.
