Summer EBT is a program designed to assist families in purchasing food for their school-aged children when school is not in session. Each summer, families receive a single payment of $120 on an EBT card for every eligible child to use for groceries. Any unused Summer EBT benefits will expire 122 days from the issuance date. A helpline is available for inquiries regarding general questions, eligibility verification, application status, and EBT card concerns.
