In June and July of 2020, the Department of Human Services (DHS) issued Pandemic Benifit Transfer (P-EBT ) Cards.  There were several waves of issuance. These cards were issued to families that recieved Free and Reduced meals during the 2019-20 school year.  Additionaly, all students enrolled in Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) Schools also qualified to recieve the P-EBT cards.  The card funds  were calculated on the days between the closure in March and the end of school.

There was a state error during this process and DHS issued additional P-EBT cards to famlies that did not qualify. The state requested that these cards be destroyed.  They are working to deactive cards issued in error.

If you have questions in regard to the P-EBT cards please email the address below.
