Great News Families!!!! Get Summer Grocery Benefits for Kids!
SUN Bucks provides $120 in grocery benefits per eligible school-age child when school is out for summer. SUN Bucks can be used to purchase food from authorized retailers in Illinois. It may also be known as Summer Electronic Benefits Transfer (or Summer EBT) in certain locations. Children can receive SUN Bucks on top of other benefits like SNAP and WIC, and in addition to free SUN Meals from local meal sites or SUN Meals To-Go in eligible rural communities.
How to Get SUN Bucks:
In the state of Illinois, which is participating in SUN Bucks (Summer EBT), school-aged children whose families receive SNAP, TANF, FDPIR, or certain other income-based benefits will be automatically enrolled to receive SUN Bucks. Additionally, children who attend a school (Pleasant Hill) that offers the National School Lunch Program or School Breakfast Program and whose household income makes them eligible for free or reduced-price school meals may also be automatically enrolled in SUN Bucks. Children who are not automatically enrolled may still be eligible for SUN Bucks. To qualify, a child’s household must meet certain income limits and other requirements. If the child or children do not automatically qualify, review the eligibility requirements, and submit an application, online, at abe.illinois.gov/sebtPortal. Applications are due by August 13, 2025.
Once a child is enrolled, SUN Bucks may be automatically added to the household’s SNAP account, issued as a separate electronic benefit transfer (EBT) card, or sent in other ways depending on how the program is operated where you live.
We were proud to honor these ladies tonight with LCHS & Limestone Kiwanis for their academic achievement in 8th grade. Congrats, Panthers! 💛🐾
