Additionally, we would like our families to know that on May 12, 2020, the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture’s Sonny Purdue approved Ohio to operate Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT). Administered by the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services, the P-EBT program provides additional monetary assistance to households with children eligible for free or reduced-price meals dealing with school closures. Since the district holds a 100% free/reduced lunch designation, families will begin receiving P-EBT cards in the days and weeks to come.
Important Information Regarding the P-EBT cards from the Ohio Department of Education and Department of Job and Family Services:
- If you have a child in kindergarten through twelfth grade in your household
who was receiving free or reduced-price meals while in school, your child
is eligible for the Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT) program to
receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits as a
result of the school closure. - The amount of benefits is $5.70 per child for each school day the child was eligible for free or reduced-price meals between March 17, 2020 through May 29, 2020.
- Your participation in the program is voluntary and you do not have to participate. If you choose not to participate, please dispose of your card by cutting through
the magnetic stripe on the card and discard the card in a secure manner. If you do not want the card, you will not be able to redeem the food benefits, nor can you transfer the card to someone else. - These benefits can be used to buy food items at grocery stores/retailers that accept
the Ohio Direction Card (also referred to as an EBT card). If the child is a current SNAP recipient:
» By the end of May, the P-EBT benefits may be added to the account on which the child is active.
» If the child was unable to be matched to his or her active SNAP account, you will be sent a P-EBT card in the child’s name. - If the child is not a current SNAP recipient: » By the end of May, a pre-loaded P-EBT card will be mailed. The card will be in the child’s name, not the parent or guardian’s name. Instructions on how to activate the card will be included.
