S-EBT is a federally funded program that provides families with school-aged children who qualify for free or reduced eligibility with $40 per child (up to $120) during each of the the summer months to purchase healthy foods while school is not in session. More information about the program is available through MDE.
All CPA families who completed the Application for Educational Benefits this year and qualify for free or reduced price lunches will automatically be enrolled in the S-EBT program. Please make sure that household contact information is up-to-date in Parent VUE, including parent or guardian name, address, and phone number. Contact Bonnie Johnson (bonniej@cpapk12.org or 651-280-4587) if any updates are needed.
If you did not complete an Application for Educational Benefits this year, you can do so by visiting SchoolPay or by contacting Bonnie Johnson to request a paper copy (bonniej@cpapk12.org or 651-280-4587). You will receive a letter after approximately 10 business days letting you know if your child qualifies.
