Summer EBT 2026 (aka SUN Bucks) is a benefits program that provides families a $120 one-time benefit for each eligible school-aged child. The benefits are intended for the household to buy groceries when school is not in session. Summer is a time when many children lose the free and reduced-price meals they get at school and when households may need help putting meals on the table. Most eligible households will receive benefits automatically, but some households will need to apply.
Summer EBT is available in addition to free meals that children of all ages can receive at summer meal sites in their communities.
Summer EBT issuances are planned for May 18-25, 2026 for children that are automatically enrolled.
