Re: You may qualify to receive Pandemic EBT (P-EBT) funds. 


Dear Millis Public Schools Families, 


We encourage you to complete the Free/Reduced Meal Benefit Application for the 2020-2021 school year, even though your student is receiving free meals for the 2020-2021 school year. By completing the Free/Reduced Meal Benefit Application, you may qualify to receive Pandemic EBT (P-EBT) funds through the 2020-2021 school year,  which can be used to buy healthy food. It’s important to stay healthy, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. 


Where do I find the Free/Reduced Meal Benefit Application?

  • The application can be found on our district website, www.millisps.org. Select “Information”, then “Free and Reduced Lunch”. If you do not have access to the internet and can not print the application from the district website, please call Shaileen Volpe at 508-906-3618. 

  • Please complete and return the application to Shaileen Volpe.

  • If you have any questions or concerns please call Shaileen Volpe at 508-906-3618. 


How much will I receive?

  • Eligible students in a fully remote learning situation will receive $117.20 per month.

  • Eligible students in a hybrid learning situation will receive $58.60 per month.

  • Students attending school either half-day or fully in person are not eligible for P-EBT. 


How will I receive P-EBT for October and November? 

  • Funds for October and November will be issued in ONE issuance.  

  • I received  P-EBT in the past: You will get funds on your EBT or P-EBT card in late December.

  • I am new to P-EBT:  If you receive SNAP and/or TAFDC, look for funds to be added to the DTA EBT card you already have.  If you do not receive SNAP and/or TAFDC, look for a DTA letter and card in the mail in mid January. 


How will I receive P-EBT funds in 2021? 

  • I received P-EBT in the past on a P-EBT card: Starting in January, check your P-EBT card for funds on the 25th of each month for the rest of the school year.

  • I received P-EBT in the past on my DTA EBT card: Starting in January, check your EBT card for funds on the 25th of each month for the rest of the school year.

  • If you are new to P-EBT: 

    • If you receive SNAP and/or TAFDC, check your DTA EBT card for funds. 

    • If you do NOT receive SNAP and/or TAFDC,  you will receive a letter in the mail from the DTA. You will also receive a P-EBT card in the mail in a different envelope. KEEP THE LETTER UNTIL YOU HAVE GOTTEN  AND PINNED THE CARD. The letter has your students’ case number that you need to PIN the card.

Each month, funds will be added to your card on the 25th of each month for the month before.  Example: your February P-EBT funds will be based on your students’ learning situation in January.

No longer have your P-EBT card? 

If you need a new EBT card, call DTA at 1-877-382-2363 or request a replacement card at DTAconnect.com/pebt.  If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Shaileen Volpe at 508-906-3618 or [email protected].

 

IMPORTANT:  Using P-EBT does not impact you or your student’s immigration status. The public charge rule does not apply to this program.


Need more food help? 

  •  If you are eligible for P-EBT you are likely eligible for SNAP, ongoing monthly food funds.  Check your eligibility and apply at DTAconnect.com.

  • You can also receive FREE grab and go school meals at any school.  Find a site near you atwww.meals4kids.org/find-meal-site.
