Summer EBT: Additional Support for Families
In addition to regular SNAP benefits, eligible families with school-aged children may receive Summer Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT), also known as SUN Bucks. This program provides $120 per eligible child for the summer months, distributed as $40 per month. These benefits can be used at authorized retailers that accept EBT.
Ensuring Timely Access to Benefits
To avoid delays:
- Verify Your Deposit Date: Check your state’s SNAP distribution schedule to know when to expect your benefits.
- Update Contact Information: Ensure your local SNAP office has your current address and contact details.
- Monitor Your EBT Account: Regularly check your EBT account balance and transaction history.
Staying informed ensures you can access your benefits without interruption.
