Grocery aid confusion: Families who qualify told theyâd get $0
MILWAUKEE - It’s a problem that could keep a parent awake at night how to feed their child when schools aren’t open to provide free meals?
Grocery benefits are now available in Wisconsin through a program called Pandemic-EBT (P-EBT). Families are eligible for up to $6.82 per day per child for meals typically provided by schools, but were not, during virtual learning.
Creating confusion is that many families who qualify for P-EBT got a letter from the State of Wisconsin telling them they’d get zero dollars in benefits.
