SUN Bucks - New Summer EBT Program

SUN Bucks, also known as Summer EBT (S-EBT), is a new program to help families buy food for their school-aged children during the summer. Eligible families will get $120 for each eligible child to buy groceries during the summer. Children who qualify for SUN Bucks can still participate in other summer meal programs and SUN Bucks will not affect immigration status.

Your child will automatically get SUN Bucks if:

• They are age 6 - 18 years and get CalFresh, CalWORKS, or Medi-Cal.
• They are age 0 - 22 years, attending schools that are a part of National School Lunch and/or School Breakfast Programs, and are approved for free or reduced price meals. Check with your child's school to make sure your free or reduced-price meal application or Alternative Income Form is on file.

Eligible families will get SUN Bucks on a S-EBT card that will be mailed to their home. You do not need to fill out an application. You will get one new SUN Bucks card for each eligible child. You can use SUN Bucks just like a debit card to buy food like fruits, vegetables, meat, whole grains, and dairy at grocery stores, farmers markets, and other places that accept CALFresh EBT benefits.
