Meal Benefits for Families
Students who qualify for free or reduced-price meals may be eligible for Pandemic-Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT) to purchase food for days they are not in the school building. To be considered, households must submit a Meal Benefits Application to the district (for free or reduced-price meals) for the 2020-21 school year or be approved for Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP) or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. Families who received P-EBT benefits last summer are not automatically eligible; eligibility is based on the current school year. Benefits may be retroactive to September 2020, depending on when eligibility for free or reduced-price meals is determined.
To ensure you qualify for the most benefits, please submit your Meal Benefits Application as soon as possible if you have not already applied or your circumstances have changed.
The applications are available in the school office and by clicking on this link: Meal Benefit Application
The completed application should be returned to the school office. You may want to verify that we have your correct address so that benefit cards can be sent to the correct address once they are issued.
