SUN Bucks, also known as Summer EBT, is a new federal program that provides families with $120 per eligible child to purchase groceries when school is out of session. These benefits will reduce summer food insecurity for 600,000+ children in Washington state.

Who is eligible?

Many students are automatically eligible for SUN Bucks. This includes:

• Children (of any age) who have completed their school’s Child Nutrition Eligibility & Education Benefit form(CNEEB) and are below 185% of the Federal Poverty Line.
• Children (age 8-18) who are enrolled in certain public assistance programs, such as SNAP, TANF, and Medicaid.

These children will be automatically enrolled in SUN Bucks and do not need to submit an additional application.

All other families with annual household incomes below 185% of the Federal Poverty Line will need to submit an application with DSHS to receive SUN Bucks.

For meal sites near you and Sun Bucks eligibility requirements, text 509-509
