Starting this summer, you can buy more food for your child with California SUN Bucks, also called Summer-EBT.
SUN Bucks works like CalFresh, but for the summer. SUN Bucks will provide $120 per child, which is equivalent to $40 per month for the three months schools are typically closed during the summer.
Most eligible families do not need to take any action, as children who qualify for free or reduced-price school meals through a school meal application or an alternative income form, or who receive CalFresh, CalWORKs, or Medi-Cal, are automatically enrolled.
Children who are not automatically enrolled for SUN Bucks can apply for free or reduced-price school meals by completing and submitting a school meal application or alternative income form by August 31, 2024. Families can obtain these applications from their school or school administrator’s office.
SUN Bucks cards will begin arriving in June and will continue to be delivered through this fall.
