“The Nebraska Department of Education (NDE) and Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) continue to partner on the issuance of Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT) benefits through the summer of 2021. Through an amendment of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA, P.L. 116-127), P-EBT will be available this summer to children who were eligible to receive free or reduced-price meals during the 2020-21 school year.”

At Bancroft-Rosalie Community School Eligible children will include:

“-Eligible students are those who were attending school during the month of May 2021 and qualified for free or reduced-price meals”

What this means:  ALL STUDENTS ENROLLED IN MAY 2021; AT BANCROFT-ROSALIE COMMUNITY SCHOOL ARE ELIGIBLE.

All eligible students can receive Summer 2021 P-EBT benefits regardless of:

• Summer school attendance;
• Availability of meals through Summer Food Service Program (SFSP); and

The Bancroft-Rosalie Community School has submitted parent and student information for all students enrolled in May 2021 to the Nebraska Department of Education portal for the benefit issuance.
