Mora Schools will be participating in the new Summer EBT (S-EBT) program, which will help reduce child hunger by providing benefits to families with eligible school-age children for groceries throughout the summer.
Beginning this summer, the state of MN will provide grocery benefits to help families with eligible school-age children buy groceries during the summer. Learn more about this new program: http://www.fns.usda.gov/sebt/household.
Families who have received an approval letter or notice this past fall for income-eligible students (direct certified or categorically eligible) in school year 2023-2024 for free or reduced price (FRP) school meals are automatically eligible for S-EBT and no further action is needed.
Families who have not received an approval letter or notice in school year 2023-2024 may complete an Application for Educational Benefits if they suspect they qualify. The school will verify eligibility and contact households with an approval or denial letter.
Applications for Educational Benefits my be found on our webpage at: https://www.moraschools.org/page/nutritiondepartment.
Contact MN DHS with questions or concerns.
