Families across the state who missed free school lunches because their kids’ schools were closed are getting some extra food stamp benefits.
The state’s Department of Health Services yesterday announced a plan to make-up for what was missed because of the coronavirus. Families will get just over seven-dollars per-child, per-day for missed meals. The money is coming from the federal government.
DHS says Wisconsin families who are enrolled in food stamps can expect a letter soon that explains just when they will see their extra benefits.
