SUMMER SUPPORT
From the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education
Two programs will help families provide school-aged children with nutritious food when school is out this summer. The first is Summer Eats, which will again provide meals at sites across the state. The second is Summer EBT (S-EBT), which will provide food benefits to income eligible households. More information about Summer EBT is available on the state Department of Transitional Assistance’s (DTA) website and in this memo from DESE’s Office for Food and Nutrition Services. The memo outlines eligibility, highlights ways in which Summer EBT is different from Pandemic EBT, provides guidance on districts’ responsibilities, and provides resources for districts and families. Please note that DTA’s online S-EBT application will not be available until June 15. Families who are automatically eligible for S-EBT without district or family action will be notified of their eligibility by DTA during the first week of July.
