All students at title one schools in DC got them. Our school sent out info.

It's for last summer, it's legit, and if you don't spend it it goes to waste (can't transfer to a needier family or anything). Use them.

We do not qualify for FARMs but last year when it was for everyone, they got school lunch every day. There is next to no information sent with the cards and very little available I can find online about eligibility. I called the number given with the cards but there is no way to speak to an actual person. The cards have almost $400 each on them, linked to our apparently new EBT account. I know we would never qualify for FARMs but honestly, if this is legit, we could really use this.

Did anyone else receive these cards and know more about it? I've checked with some other parents from our ES and they also received them, even if they didn't qualify for FARMs via income. My kids attend a Title I school and get universal breakfast--not sure if that's relevant but it could be. Does anyone know if we are actually allowed to use the funds from these cards? I don't want to get into trouble later, but again, we could really use this extra help right now.

It is legit. It's for the last summer months.

This happened in DCPS a lot. Don’t know anyone in MCPS who got one.
