Summer 2025 SEBT Information For Families
Cardington is a CEP school offering free lunch to all students, but the Ohio Household Income Form we provided does not meet USDA requirements for SEBT eligibility. Therefore, FAMILIES MUST APPLY ONLINE at sebt.ohio.gov by August 15th to receive SUMMER benefits. The CLLSD School District cannot submit this information for you.
Participating households will receive a one-time $120 payment for each eligible child on a benefit card you will receive in the mail. You can use the money to buy food during the summer at grocery stores, farmers markets, and other authorized retailers. If you receive more than $120 per eligible child in your household, do not use the benefits. Contact the SEBT Helpline at 1-866-244-0071, option 1 as soon as possible to confirm or correct the error.

breakfast/lunch at no charge regardless if they complete this form. However, to determine eligibility
for various additional state and federal program benefits that your child’s school may qualify for,
please complete, sign and submit the following Household Information Survey:
