Dear Parents/Guardians:
Recently you should have received a letter from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services in regards to the Pandemic EBT benefits. These benefits are for the purchase of food for time when meals were not available at the school. These benefits are made available by the state for students when the district was closed due to COVID-19 issues. These benefits should be available for every student for the months of November, December and January since the district operated remotely during those months.
In addition to the benefits that every student received for those months, individual students may qualify for benefits other months. In order for an individual student to qualify for these additional benefits, the student must have been learning partially or fully virtually that month. This means if you elected for your child to learn virtually this school year or if your child was in quarantine due to COVID-19 and learned remotely during that time. If your child is in that situation these steps must be followed to reconsider the instructional method for that month(s).
- Fill out the Reconsideration Form (attached to this email)
- Provide a Proof Document from the school – this documentation can be requested by contacting Patti Hicks at phicks@montabella.com or (989) 427-5175
- Both forms must be mailed to the MDHHS.
