Pandemic EBT (P-EBT) benefits are now available to eligible students in our school district. P-EBT is money for food to replace meals students missed at school during the school day because of the pandemic. Benefits are available to students who are eligible for free or reduced-price school meals AND
There is no need to apply to receive these benefits. Each eligible student will receive a P-EBT card in the mail. If your family has moved within the last two years, make sure your address on file with their school is up to date. The first payment of these benefits will arrive in the mail sometime in March.
Keep your P-EBT Card! More benefits may be added throughout the school year to students’ P-EBT cards if:
· Schools remain closed to in-person services; OR
· If students continue to miss meals served during the school day due to reduced school hours.
Students can continue to take part in free grab-and-go meal programs in our community and still get P-EBT. To learn more about our grab-and-go meal programs, visit our website at https://bit.ly/MSDChildNutrition.
