Summer EBT Information

APPLY BY TUESDAY APRIL 15th, 2025 TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE FIRST ISSUANCE OF BENEFITS IN MAY.  FAMILIES CAN CONTINUE TO APPLY THROUGH SUNDAY AUGUST 31st, 2025.

SUN Bucks, the Michigan Summer EBT program, helps families buy food for their school-aged children during the summer by offering a $120 grocery benefit for each eligible child.  

Some families will get Summer EBT benefits automatically, but some families will need to apply.  Families must meet the income and program requirements to be eligible.

Once your family is enrolled, SUN Bucks will be automatically added to your SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) account or your will be issued a separate EBT (Electronic Benefit Transfer) card.

The Education Benefit Form (EBF) will not count towards this benefit; you will need to enroll separately for SUN Bucks.

Children who receive Michigan Summer EBT can still participate in other summer meal programs.
