Pandemic-EBT (P-EBT)
P-EBT provides supplemental food assistance benefits to students who have temporarily lost access to free or reduced-price school meals due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The goal of the program is to make sure no child goes hungry by missing out on school meals.
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) and Michigan Department of Education (MDE) partnered during the 2020-2021 school year to provide these critical benefits to over 900,000 students. We are excited to be partnering again for the 2021-2022 school year to provide these benefits to students to help reduce food insecurity.
