We want to share important information about a new program that can help income-eligible families feed their children during summer months.
The WV Department of Human Services and the WV Department of Education are launching a brand-new program called WV Summer EBT (SEBT).
Please listen carefully for important information about this new program. This is NOT the same as PEBT, which helped during Covid-19.
Our county board of education fully participates in the Community Eligibility Provision for free school meals and all students automatically received PEBT. The Summer EBT program, however, is based on new federal guidelines. Not ALL students will be eligible for SEBT, only income-eligible households.
Families that do not meet the income criteria will NOT be approved for Summer EBT.
If your family receives benefits like SNAP or WV Works/TANF, your enrolled child will automatically receive SEBT. If you do not receive public benefits and you believe your household is income-eligible, you will need to complete an income application.
To complete an application online, please visit www.schoolcafe.com. Applying online is the most efficient way to apply. Please only submit one application per child. If you need a paper application, you should contact your local DoHS field office for more information. Your child's school or county board of education office will NOT have applications nor accept completed applications.
All eligible children will receive their one-time benefit of $120 on a brand new Summer EBT card. Benefits will NOT be loaded onto previous PEBT cards or existing Mountain State EBT cards. Summer EBT cards will be mailed to the address on file with your child's school or their public benefit case.
If you have other children in your household between the ages of 6 and 17 who are not enrolled in our school system, they will only receive SEBT if your household gets SNAP or another qualifying benefit. Federal law prohibits an income application from being filed for children who do not attend a school that participates in the National School Lunch Program.
For more information on this program to support income-eligible families, please visit www.wvsebt.org or call 1-866-545-6502. Thank you.
This Challenge will end on Friday. A new style of challenge will start this Saturday. Look for more information coming soon. Get those last minutes in. The standings have been changing and there is still time for other schools to catch up and take over the Beanstack Reading Champion Cup.
