SUN Bucks
Summer Grocery Benefit for Kids
SUN Bucks (Summer EBT) provides $120 per eligible child ($40/month for June, July, and August 2025) to purchase groceries. Most eligible families are automatically enrolled via SNAP, TANF, FDPIR, or school meal programs. Funds are loaded onto a California EBT card and must be used within 122 days.
If you are NOT automatically enrolled, you can apply for SUN Bucks directly. To qualify, you must meet income limits and other requirements. Once you’re enrolled, SUN Bucks may be automatically added to your SNAP account, issued as a separate electronic benefit transfer (EBT) card, or sent in other ways depending on where you live.
