SUN Bucks: Funds for Summer Food for Qualified Families
CPSD families may be eligible to receive funds this summer to help buy food through the Summer Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) program called SUN Bucks. The Department of Social and Health Services is partnering with the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction to distribute these benefits.
The SUN Bucks benefits, a one-time payment of $120 per eligible child in each household, will be deposited onto new SUN Bucks cards and mailed beginning in early June. Some children will be automatically eligible for SUN Bucks, while others will need to apply.
Students may be automatically eligible for Summer EBT if they:
Are enrolled at a school that offers the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) or School Breakfast Program (SBP) and qualify through a meal application or Family Income Survey.
Are between the ages of 8 and 18 and are a member of a household that receives benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, Food Assistance Program, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families or State-Funded Assistance.
Families of students who do not qualify automatically can apply by submitting a summer EBT application. Applications will be accepted through Aug. 31. Information about the SUN Bucks program and applications is available at http://dshs.wa.gov/sunbucks.
