Michigan School Meals 2023-2024

School Meal Forms

Schools and households in Michigan rely on Education Benefits to receive additional services throughout the school year, which is why every household is being asked to complete income documentation for their district to continue to receive this funding.  

What forms are required?

• You will be asked to fill out either a School Meals and Summer EBT Application or an Education Benefits form (formerly the Household Information Report) depending on your school. 

How do I know which form to fill out? And where can I get it?

• Contact your school office to get the proper form.

Why should I fill out the School Meals and Summer EBT Application or Household Information Report?

• Summer EBT. If your household qualifies, you will receive Summer EBT benefits per eligible student.
• School funding. We need all families to fill out this form so that your district receives the necessary resources to continue to provide all students with the highest quality education, including funding for things like computers, books, school supplies, and more.
• Technology funding. Your district receives more funding for internet access and computers.
• Grocery benefits. Filling out this form may help provide your family with money for groceries through P-EBT.
• SAT, ACT, and AP test discounts. If your household qualifies, you can receive discounts for academic testing.
• College application discounts. If your household qualifies, you can receive discounts for college application fees.
• Athletics. If your household qualifies, you may receive discounts for fees associated with participating in athletics.

Do I need to fill out a form for each student?

• No, only one (1) application per household needs to be completed, either the School Meals and Summer EBT Application or Education Benefits form. Please include the names of all students enrolled in your district on the form.

Is the information I provide confidential?

• Yes, any personal information you provide on either form is kept strictly confidential.

When do I need to complete the forms?

• Please complete and return it to your school as soon as possible
