Summer EBT Information
Summer EBT (SUN Bucks) is continuing for 2025, and applications are now open through August 15!
Summer EBT/SUN Bucks provides a one-time grocery benefit of $120 per eligible school-aged child during the summer that can be at grocery stores, farmers markets, and other authorized retailers.
Many families will get Summer EBT/SUN Bucks automatically if they are getting other benefits. If your household already participates in SNAP, OWF, or if income eligible and receiving Medicaid benefits, your child will automatically be enrolled to receive summer benefits. You do not need to fill out an application or take any further action.
If you are not automatically enrolled, but you believe that your child might be eligible, you can complete a simple online application available at sebt.ohio.gov to apply for Summer EBT/SUN Bucks directly. When applying, you will be asked to provide your child's name, school, date of birth, address, and some additional details. You will also be asked to report your household's income. You will not need to provide any other documents or information including social security number, proof of citizenship, or pay stubs to apply.
Apply Now through August 15, 2025: https://sebt.ohio.gov/
Households with active SNAP accounts should have benefits loaded to their Ohio Direction Card. All other households will receive a new Summer EBT card in the mail for each eligible child. The card will arrive in a plain white envelope and be addressed to the child. Any past summer P-EBT cards can be thrown away.
Please note that participation will not affect children or families' immigration status.
