Michigan is the first state approved for a federal program to help feed kids who rely on school meals amid COVID-19 pandemic.
The United States Department of Agriculture announced Thursday that Michigan is the first state approved for the Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer – or Pandemic EBT program.
The program is a supplemental food purchasing benefit to current SNAP participants and as a new EBT benefit to other eligible households to offset the cost of meals that would have otherwise been consumed at school.
