Which of you Houston Baws getting your $285 EBT card?

It’s Free, Swipe Yo EBT
The Pandemic Electronic Benefits Transfer (P-EBT) was approved by the USDA for students who receive free and reduced lunches. Since schools were closed in mid-March, the federal government is sending $285 on a P-EBT card. These are benefits students would have received in free meals at schools were it not canceled.
Since some school districts, like Houston ISD, have so many low-income students that qualify for the benefit, it is offered to every student, regardless of the family’s income. You must apply to receive the money.
“If you have a student who goes to an HISD school, you are eligible,” said Jarad Davis, HISD’s Director for Wrap Around Services. “Why? Because of a provision that we have, all HISD students receive free lunch. Regardless of your income, you’re eligible for this benefit. We don’t want anything to get in the way of you taking advantage of this benefit

Wasn't HISD handing out free iPads or laptops last year?

I got mine earlier this week ($570 for two kids).
Spent all of it and then some at Sam's yesterday.
Asked the wife if we could take a City bus home just to get the full feeling of the event. She declined.
Jumbo bucket of beef jerky is being destroyed as we speak.
ETA: Every child receives free lunch in the school district we live in due to the amount of families effected by the Great Flood of '16. Fight me.

Virtually everyone in Livingston got the same thing. No income limitation because of the 2016 flood, like you said.

We shopped as we usually would, no luxury items.
It covered $450 of what we purchased. Obviously, some of the non-food items were not covered. Didn't look to see what we bought food wise wasn't covered.
Hard working, middle class, conservative family appreciated every cent of the benefit return from the Federal Government.
