Iowa provides grocery vouchers to students who lost reduced lunch benefits due to pandemic

© (Bet Noire/iStock) Iowa s Department of Human Services this week began issuing grocery vouchers to families of students who missed out on receiving reduced-cost school meals due to the coronavirus pandemic. On Wednesday, the agency announced that families with children in prekindergarten through grade 12 who did not attend school in person during the 2020-21 school year because of pandemic-related closures would be given  P-EBT cards to help with groceries. Cards will be distributed through the mail to nearly 150,000 eligible children, according to the Des Moines Register. ADVERTISEMENT We want to make Iowa families aware of the arrival of the P-EBT cards to prevent families from throwing the envelopes away, not realizing what they contain,” said Janee Harvey, who is overseeing the effort.

Grocery Vouchers Coming to Families with Kids Who Get Free School Meals

By Jason Taylor May 13, 2021 DES MOINES, Iowa - Vouchers to buy groceries are now being sent to Iowa families with children who were out of school because of the pandemic. The program, which is being paid for by a federal grant, is meant to make up for free or reduced-price in meals kids missed when they were at home. The vouchers can be used to buy food in the same way that food stamps, or SNAP benefits, function. Families are eligible if they have children in pre-kindergarten through 12th grade who qualify meal programs at school. The program applies to students who attend the 186 school districts and 51 participating nonpublic schools.
