SUN Bucks 2025

SUN Bucks, also known as Summer EBT, is a program to help families buy food for their school-aged children during the summer. Families will get a one-time benefit of $120 per year for each eligible child to help buy groceries during the summer months. Children who get SUN Bucks can still participate in other summer meal programs. Receiving SUN Bucks will not affect children or families' immigration status. For families who were pre-approved in January or applied and received a notice of approval since the application opened, benefits were recently distributed as follows (based on the primary applicant’s, not the child’s, last name): May 28 – A to G, May 29 – H to M, May 30 – N to S, May 31: T to Z. The one-time $120 benefit per eligible child was put onto a new or the household’s existing EBT card. For those that have not yet applied, the SUN Bucks application is available until 5 pm on August 29, 2025. Visit SUNBucks.dcf.ks.gov for more information.
