SUN Bucks: Summer Grocery Benefits Available for Eligible Families
Families may be eligible for SUN Bucks, Pennsylvania’s Summer EBT program, which provides a one-time grocery benefit of $120 per eligible child to help purchase food while school is out for the summer.
Many eligible children will receive benefits automatically through an existing SNAP/TANF EBT card or a newly issued Summer EBT card. Benefits for Summer 2026 begin being distributed in early June.
Children who receive free or reduced-price school meals, SNAP, or TANF benefits are automatically eligible. Most children receiving Medicaid also qualify automatically. However, children receiving Medicaid through the Children with Special Needs category (PH 95) and children enrolled in CHIP must apply for SUN Bucks.
Benefits can be used at participating grocery retailers to purchase eligible food items.
For more information or to determine eligibility, visit the SUN Bucks website (https://www.pa.gov/agencies/dhs/resources/summer-ebt) or call the SUN Bucks FAQ Line at 1-877-762-1575.
