PEBT is back for the 2021-2022 school year
K-W families need to have a completed application for educational benefits current for this school year on file in the district office in order to be eligible for this program. Minnesota families who rely on free and reduced-price school lunch programs will soon get extra help to cover food costs when COVID-19 keeps their children home from school. In January, a first round of Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer food benefits will go to families whose children have to stay home because of quarantines or COVID -19 impacts. The U.S. Department of Agriculture set the daily P-EBT benefit of $7.10 for the current school year. Parents should check to make sure they are receiving P-EBT texts or emails and that their school has their correct contact information. DHS anticipates tentatively issuing P-EBT benefits for meals missed due to COVID in February, April and June.For questions about P-EBT: Contact the P-EBT Call Center at 651-431-4608 or 833-454-0153, complete the P-EBT Help Form, or visit mn.gov/dhs/p-ebt/faqs for frequently asked questions.
