Dear Neighbor: Indiana was recently approved for the COVID response program called Pandemic EBT (Electronic Benefit Transfer). What this means is that all Indiana students who were participating in the Free & Reduced Lunch benefit should be receiving benefits either to their household’s existing SNAP EBT card, or a new card issued to the household for just this benefit if the family was not on SNAP.
