Apply for SUN Bucks
If your household income is less than 185% of the Federal level, the school aged children in your household may be eligible for a new program called SUN Bucks (see the income limits below). Households that have been notified of eligibility by Direct Certification do not need to apply.
Families will receive $ 120 for each eligible child on a card that you can use to buy food during the summer at grocery stores, farmers markets, and other authorized retailers. If you think your children are eligible, submit an application through the link below.
Applications will be accepted until Friday, August 16, 2024 in order to get benefits for this summer. If you need assistance filling out an application, or if you have questions, submit a ticket using the SUN Bucks online help form.
You will need to provide your child’s name, school, date of birth, along with the names of other people in your household, your household income, and address where you would like the benefit card to be sent. You will not need to provide any documentation to apply. Receiving Summer EBT will not affect children or families’ immigration status.
