EBT Support for Families
Michigan has received approval for the Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) which will give money to families of children who are eligible for free or reduced-price meals dealing with school closures.
The food assistance benefits, estimated around $193 per child per month, will go to Michigan families with students ages 5-18 who are enrolled in the Michigan Department of Education program for students eligible for free or reduced-price school meals.
This includes both families currently receiving Food Assistance Program benefits and those families not currently enrolled. This is in addition to meals already being distributed at school sites.
