Important Deadline Information-Summer EBT Applications are Due April 15

Summer Grocery Benefits

Eligible families of school-age children will receive $120 per child for qualifying groceries.
Qualifying groceries include fruits and vegetables, meat, poultry, fish, dairy products, breads, cereals, and non-alcoholic drinks
SUN Bucks can be spent at many locations in-store or online.
Families can receive SUN Bucks on top of other nutrition benefits like Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Women, Infants, and Children (WIC).
Funds will expire 122 days after issuance – so we encourage families to use them sooner rather than later.

Eligibility

Families will be automatically enrolled in SUN Bucks if they are already enrolled in SNAP, TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families), or FDPIR (Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations) benefits or meet the requirements for free or reduced-price school meals. In other words, keep an eye out for $120, per child, at the beginning of summer!

Families that are not automatically enrolled should apply for SUN Bucks directly.
