New Food Program Coming this Summer
SUN Bucks, also known as Summer EBT (S-EBT), is a new program to
help families buy food for their school-aged children during the
summer.
Children participating in free or reduce price school meals,
temporary assistance for needy families and some additional
government programs will automatically qualify. Some families may
need to apply to determine eligibility. Qualified families will
get $120 for each eligible child to buy groceries during the
summer. Families must use SUN Bucks within 122 days of funds
being loaded to their card. Children who get SUN Bucks can still
participate in other summer meal programs. SUN Bucks will not
affect immigration status. Learn more about SUN Bucks
