What is Summer EBT?
The Summer Electronic Benefit Transfer Program for Children (Summer EBT or SUN Bucks) began in 2024 and provides grocery benefits to low-income families with school-aged children when schools are closed for the summer.
Summer EBT benefits will either be loaded to a household’s Ohio Direction Card, or a benefit card will be sent in the mail to each eligible child.
Families can use the money to buy food during the summer at grocery stores, farmers markets, and other authorized retailers. Families will receive a one-time benefit of $120 for each eligible child and participation will not affect children or families’ immigration status.
