Summer EBT

Description:

Summer EBT, also known as SUN Bucks in some other states, is a new program to help families buy food for the school-aged children during the summer. Families will get $120 for each eligible child to buy groceries during the summer. Children who get Summer EBT can still participate in other summer meal programs. Receiving Summer EBT will not affect children or families' immigration status.

Intake Process:

Summer EBT will be added to an existing household Kansas Benefits Card (also known as an EBT card) or loaded onto a Kansas Benefits Card and mailed to your home.
Benefits will be issued automatically to eligible children by the end of July 2024.
Any child(ren) who did not receive benefits by the end of July 2024 may apply for Summer EBT benefits through the online self service portal, www.dcfapp.kees.ks.gov. Online applications will be accepted from August 12, 2024 through September 11, 2024.

Eligibility:

School-aged children (7-17 years old) who received Food Assistance, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), and/or Foster Care benefits at any point during the school year.
OR
Your child attended a Kansas school that offers the National School Lunch or School Breakfast Program, and your household income meets the requirements for free or reduced-price school meals at any point during the school year.
