BEGINNING Tuesday, Aug. 10, the Nutrition Assistance Program will be distributing Pandemic Electronic Benefits Transfer, or P-EBT, benefits.
From then until Tuesday, Aug. 17, about 5,314 families on Saipan, 282 on Tinian, and 236 on Rota will be receiving these benefits.
The distribution schedule for Tinian and Rota will be facilitated by the Department of Community and Cultural Affairs offices on Tinian and Rota.
On Saipan, the P-EBT distribution will be issued based on the last name of the head of household who was listed as the parent or legal guardian from their children’s school record.
It is highly encouraged that the individual who signed the P-EBT application come and pick up the benefit at the NAP office in As Lito to avoid any delays.
The NAP office was provided one parent name or legal guardian name, which likely was the parent or legal guardian who signed the application.
The Public School System Child Nutrition Program validated the parent or legal guardian specified on the P-EBT application provided to the NAP office.
Benefits will be issued according to the first letter of the head of household’s last name based on the following schedule:
• Tuesday, Aug. 10 – Letters A to B
• Wednesday, Aug. 11 – Letters C to D
• Thursday, Aug. 12 – Letters E to K

• Monday, Aug. 16 – Letters U to Z

Benefits will be issued from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily.
“Open Day” is the designated date for households that were unable to pick up their benefits based on their scheduled date.
Households are advised to follow the schedule accordingly, and will be required to provide a valid photo identification, such as a driver’s license, passport, municipal ID, U.S. permanent resident card, etc.
The identity of the parent or legal guardian will be verified against the list of eligible households.
