Summer Grocery Benefit for Kids
SUN Bucks provides $120 in grocery benefits per eligible school-age child when school is out for summer. SUN Bucks can be used to purchase food from authorized retailers in participating states, Tribes, and territories. It may also be known as Summer Electronic Benefits Transfer (or Summer EBT) in certain locations.
How to Get SUN Bucks
In states, Tribes, and territories participating in SUN Bucks (Summer EBT), school-aged children whose families receive SNAP, TANF, FDPIR, or certain other income-based benefits will be automatically enrolled to receive SUN Bucks. Additionally, children who attend a school that offers the National School Lunch Program or School Breakfast Program and whose household income makes them eligible for free or reduced-price school meals may also be automatically enrolled in SUN Bucks.
Children who are not automatically enrolled may still be eligible for SUN Bucks. To qualify, a child’s household must meet certain income limits and other requirements. Apply directly to the agency that administers SUN Bucks in your state, Tribe, or territory.
Once a child is enrolled, SUN Bucks may be automatically added to the household’s SNAP account, issued as a separate electronic benefit transfer (EBT) card, or sent in other ways depending on how the program is operated where you live.
