Will be receiving food benefits
Dear SD 129 Families,
The State of Illinois will be providing Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT) benefits to every student within West Aurora School District 129. This is because of the district’s participation in the National School Lunch Program’s Community Eligibility Provision (CEP).
The P-EBT program provides food assistance to families by way of a money access card that can be used to purchase food at any participating store. The amount allocated to each student is $6.82 for each day that the student was not able to eat in a West Aurora building during the 2020-21 school year. More detailed information about the P-EBT program can be found here. Additional facts include:
- It is imperative that we have your correct home address to report to the state. Please check online registration for next year on the Home Access Center. Corrections can be made by contacting Admissions at (630) 301-5050.
- Accurate student attendance is crucial because unexcused absences will reduce your child’s total eligible days and reduce your benefits.
- All SD129 families will receive the P-EBT card, regardless of immigration status.
- Most questions can be answered by reading the Frequently Asked Questions on the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) webpage, or IDHS can be reached at 1-800-843-6154.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Angela Smith
Assistant Superintendent for Operations and CSBO
West Aurora School District 129

Estimadas familias de SD129,
El estado de Illinois estará proveyendo Transferencia Electrónica de Beneficios por Pandemia (P EBT) a cada estudiante dentro del Distrito Escolar West Aurora 129. Esto se debe a la participación del distrito en la Disposición de Elegibilidad Comunitaria (CEP) del Programa Nacional de Almuerzos Escolares.
El programa P-EBT brinda asistencia alimentaria a las familias mediante una tarjeta de acceso a dinero que se puede utilizar para comprar alimentos en cualquier tienda participante. La cantidad asignada a cada estudiante es de $6.82 cada dia que el estudiante no pudo recibir su alimento en una de las escuelas de West Aurora durante el año escolar 2020-2021. Puede encontrar información más detallada sobre el programa P-EBT aquí. Hechos adicionales incluyen:
- Es sumamente importante que tengamos su dirección correcta para informar al estado. Verifique la inscripción de su hijo/a del próximo año por Home Access Center. Para corregir algo, comuníquese con el departamento de Admisiones al (630) 301-5050.
- La asistencia precisa de los estudiantes es crucial porque las ausencias injustificadas reducirán el total de días elegibles de su hijo/a y reducirán sus beneficios.
- Todas las familias de SD 129 recibirán la tarjeta P-EBT, independientemente del estado migratorio.
- La mayoría de las preguntas pueden ser respondidas leyendo Frequently Asked Questions en la página web del Departamento de Recursos Humanos de Illinois (IDHS), o puede comunicarse al 1-800-843-6154.
