Summer can be a challenging time for families when school meals are not available. The SUN Bucks program, also known as Summer EBT, helps bridge that gap by providing grocery benefits to eligible children during summer break.
SUN Bucks provides a one-time benefit of $120 per eligible school-age child to help families purchase groceries.
Many children will be automatically enrolled. This includes families who receive SNAP, TANF, or FDPIR benefits. Children who are not automatically enrolled may still be eligible. Families can apply directly through their state's SUN Bucks program if they meet income and eligibility requirements.
Once approved, benefits may be added to an existing SNAP account, issued on a separate EBT card, or provided through another approved method, depending on how the program operates in your area.
