USD 387 families, During the Covid pandemic, many families received P-EBT benefits (Pandemic EBT). The state issued another round in January. These benefits are for June, July, and August of 2023. To receive these benefits your school-aged child(ren) must have been enrolled in school (K-12) and eligible for free and reduced meals during the 2022-2023 school year. The system was set up to automatically send benefits to qualified families automatically. However, if you have not received these benefits and feel you should have, you may visit this link and do a quick application. https://cssp.kees.ks.gov/apspssp/sspnonmed.portal. The portal closes on February 29th at 5 pm. I have limited answers but you may email me at dcook@usd387.org and I can try to help.
