About this resource

Summer EBT is a program that offers grocery benefits to support families in buying food for their school-aged children when school is not in session. Each summer, families receive a single annual payment of $120 on an EBT card for every eligible child to purchase groceries. Any unused Summer EBT benefits will expire 122 days after they are issued. A helpline is available for inquiries regarding general questions, eligibility verification, application status, and EBT card assistance.

Intake Procedure: Families can apply for benefits for 2026 at any time by filling out an application.

Fees: There are no fees involved.
