(WWBT) - The Virginia Department of Social Services is working to fix issues with the distribution of P-EBT cards. The cards are part of a federal program created in the spring of 2020 to supplement existing nutrition programs for low-income households while schools were closed because of the pandemic. The agency says they were just made aware that some eligible households were not receiving their P-EBT cards and that all cards will be mailed out today.
