If your household income qualifies your children for free or reduced price meals at Wautoma Area School District, they may qualify for the Summer EBT (Electronic Benefit Transfer) Program. Summer EBT is an income-based program that helps families buy food while school is out by providing them with $120 in benefits for each qualifying child.
If your child already gets free or reduced price meals at our school, you do not need to do anything to get Summer EBT.
If they don’t, to get Summer EBT:
• You can apply for free and reduced price meals for them. If you are approved before
August 29, 2024, then you will get Summer EBT. For questions on how to apply for free or reduced meals, please contact Tami Stansbury, Food Service Director. stansburyt@wautoma.k12.wi.us
• You can participate in a state benefit program. If your child is school-aged and your
household participates in FoodShare, W-2, Food Distribution Program on Indian
Reservations (FDPIR), or an income-based Medicaid program, then they are already
qualified for Summer EBT. If you apply and are approved for one of the eligible programs
by August 29, 2024, then you will get Summer EBT.
To learn more about applying for state benefits, you can call 211, visit access.wi.gov, or contact your local or tribal
agency.
• You can apply directly for Summer EBT. You can apply for Summer EBT. You will need
to meet the income requirements for the program. The application will close for this
year on August 29, 2024.
Note: This information is for children that attend Wautoma Area School District. If you have another child that goes to a different school, the steps here might not be the right ones for them to qualify for Summer EBT. Getting Summer EBT will not affect if your child can get other benefits, such as meals offered through the Summer Food Service (SFS) or Seamless Summer Option (SSO). To learn more about meal sites near you, visit wisummerfood.org or call 211. You can also text ‘food’ to 304-304.
