P-EBT Cards – Update

Benefits will be available for students that qualify for free and reduced priced meals and attend schools that are implementing Virtual or Hybrid learning including the Ann Arbor Public Schools.

 

Please follow these steps to ensure that your family will receive their P-EBT card. Failure to follow these steps will delay or could jeopardize receiving the P-EBT card.

• If you have moved in the last six months make sure that the school (s) your child (children) attends has your correct address. It is important that your address be correct as the P-EBT cards are mailed to the address on record with the school. Please be patient and the schools will return your message.
• If you have not filled out a Free and Reduced-priced Meal application for this school year, you can find the link to the online application here.
