The Colorado Department of Human Services (CDHS) began distributing 2025 Summer EBT benefits on May 1, 2025. These benefits were automatically loaded onto EBT cards for children who received Summer EBT last year and are still eligible.
Many newly eligible families should have already received their EBT cards by USPS Priority Mail. While most cards arrive quickly, delivery can take up to 30–45 days.
