May 07, 2020
Good morning West Central Family,
On April 16, I shared with you that Pandemic EBT benefits would be available soon. We are happy to share, they are now available. Please read below to learn more:
The Illinois Department of Human Services launched the Pandemic EBT application for families on May 1, 2020 at https://abe.illinois.gov/
Families that currently receive SNAP benefits DO NOT need to apply for Pandemic EBT benefits. These additional Pandemic EBT benefits will be loaded into Illinois LINK EBT accounts along with regular SNAP benefits.
Families who DO NOT currently receive SNAP benefits but do have children who receive free or reduced-priced meals WILL NEED to apply directly with the Illinois Department of Human Services. The fastest way for families to receive benefits is to complete the application for P-EBT available online (Click “Apply for Benefits” at the link.) A paper application in English
Blessings,
Paula Markey, Superintendent
West Central C.U.S.D. #235
