An Update to the P-EBT benefit issues.
Within the last week, we have seen some families start to receive the P-EBT benefit cards that were announced by the State of Illinois. Please be patient as EMSD has no control over the delivery or rollout of the cards. We have seen cases where families with multiple children are receiving cards for one or some of the children but not all. We can only reiterate that EMSD has NOT opted out of the program and we are submitting our data as requested and the cards will eventually come for all.
Again, please be patient and be meticulous going through your mail as we have been told that these cards come in a plain white envelope addressed only to the child.
Looking for work (or know someone who is)? We just may have the perfect solution!

Good Evening EMSD Families,
We were notified that there has been an issue with the distribution of the P-EBT benefits that were recently announced. We want to assure our families that we (EMSD) have submitted the required information to the Illinois State Board of Education in advance of the deadline and that we have NOT opted out of the assistance program as a district.
Families are being told when they call the State of Illinois hotline that one of the two above reasons are why they have not received their benefit to date. EMSD has done everything that was requested in a timely manner because we understand the impact this can have on our families.
We have submitted help requests with the Illinois State Board of Education to ensure that our information was received and have verified that the data is present in the State of Illinois system. It is unfortunate, but we believe that their system is backlogged. When we know more, we will communicate through district channels.
