With schools closed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, students still need to be able to access healthy meals.

To help with this, families with a child or children who usually get free or reducedprice meals through the National School Lunch Program can get temporary food benefits. These benefits are called Pandemic EBT or P-EBT.

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services is providing these benefits automatically for most families based on the information they have for you. If the Wisconsin Department of Health Services doesn’t have enough information about you, you’ll be able to apply for the benefits.

IMPORTANT

The demographic information your scholar submits to the WI Department of Health has to match the information we have on file in our student information system (PowerSchool).

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services is automatically providing these benefits to most children who usually get free or reduced price school meals based on information they have on file. If the Wisconsin Department of Health Services is able to verify your information, the benefits will automatically be provided on your QUEST card if you have one or on a P-EBT card you will get in the mail. You can use these cards like a debit card to buy food. You will get a letter in the mail letting you know if you are automatically getting the benefits. You may also get an email in addition to the mailed letter. See more information about these benefits and how you will be notified. If the Wisconsin Department of Health Services does not have your information or is not able to verify your information, you will need to apply for the benefits. If you have not been notified that you are automatically getting these benefits by May 20, please complete this application. You must apply for the benefits by June 30.
