The Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) launched the Pandemic EBT application for families on May 1 at https://abe.illinois.gov/abe/access/. A flier explaining benefits and how to apply is available at https://5il.co/fqhd.
P-EBT is a new special benefit that can help families buy food for their school age children who would normally receive National School Lunch Program (NSLP) free or reduced-priced meals when schools are in session. Families that currently receive SNAP benefits do not need to apply for P-EBT benefits. Families who do not currently receive SNAP benefits but do have children who receive NSLP free or reduced-priced meals will need to apply directly with IDHS.
May 1, 2020 Daily Remote Learning Update is at https://5il.co/fq8u. If new state guidance stands, graduation plans will need to be revised. Changes will be developed & communicated early next week.Thanks for your patience as we deal with the frequent changes related to COVID-19.
