What matters

Why deposit dates vary

Most agencies send SUN Bucks automatically to children already connected to SNAP, TANF, FDPIR, Medicaid, or free and reduced-price school meal records. Other children may need an application. That split can create different deposit days even inside the same state.

Safety

Keep your EBT details private

Official agencies do not need your card PIN to tell you whether benefits are coming. Use the state links here for dates and applications, and do not enter private benefit details on unofficial forms.

FAQ

Common Summer EBT deposit questions

Is there one national Summer EBT deposit date?

No. SUN Bucks is a federal benefit run through state, territory, and tribal agencies. Each agency sets its own card mailing and deposit schedule.

Will the money go on my existing EBT card?

Often yes, if your household already has an active EBT card. Some agencies mail a new SUN Bucks card for children who are eligible through school records or an application.

What should I do if my state is not listed statewide?

Check the USDA SUN Bucks page and your state benefits agency. Some states may still offer free summer meals even when they do not issue SUN Bucks.
