(The Center Square) – Beginning next month, one million Illinois children will receive federally funded food benefits, valued at $110 million per month.
In the coming weeks, families will receive one EBT card per eligible child, and the cards can be used to purchase food items at authorized retailers, which includes most major grocery stores in Illinois. Families will receive $6.82 for each day a child did not have access to school meals, a 19% increase over the 2019-2020 school year.
The funding will be distributed by the Illinois Department of Human Services in partnership wit the Illinois State Board of Education to students who are eligible for Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer support.
Gov. J.B. Pritzker on Tuesday announced new federal funding to expand the state’s food assistance program for school-age children who would normally receive free or reduced-price meals.
