    S-EBT Program is Coming This Summer

    S-EBT Program is Coming this Summer

    The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 authorized a permanent, nationwide S-EBT program for eligible families beginning in 2024. The state of Minnesota (MN) has submitted the S-EBT plan to implement this new federal program in summer 2024 to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the plan is pending approval. The administration of the S-EBT program will be a joint effort between the MN Department of Education (MDE), the MN Department of Human Services (DHS) and MN Information Technology Services (MNIT). The S-EBT program provides families with school-aged children eligible for free or reduced-price school meals at $40 per month per child ($120 total) during the summer months to purchase healthy foods with funds placed on EBT cards.

    S-EBT Eligibility

    Students attending a school participating in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP)/ School Breakfast Program (SBP) at the end of the 2023–24 school year can qualify through the following methods:

    • Students who are directly certified through Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP), Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR), Foster and Medicaid.
    • Students who are categorically eligible (homeless, foster, migrant or runaway).
    • Students approved for free/reduced-price lunch for the 2023–24 school year.
    • Students who are newly eligible for free/reduced-price lunch during the summer until August 23, 2024.

    Contact Sherry Lohmeyer at slohmeyer@bluffviewmontessori.org for more information or for an application.
