Washington State Sun Bucks Program

SUN Bucks: Funds for Summer Food for Qualified Families 

 

CPSD families may be eligible to receive funds this summer to help buy food through a new Summer Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) program called SUN Bucks. The Department of Social and Health Services is partnering with the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction to distribute these benefits. 

 

The SUN Bucks benefits, a one-time payment of $120 per eligible child in each household, will be deposited onto new SUN Bucks cards and mailed beginning in early June. Some children will be automatically eligible for SUN Bucks, while others will need to apply.  

 

Students may be automatically eligible for Summer EBT if they: 

 

  • Are enrolled at a school that offers the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) or School Breakfast Program (SBP) and qualify through a meal application or Family Income Survey. 

  • Are age 8–18 and are a member of a household that receives benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, Food Assistance Program, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families or State-Funded Assistance. 

 

Students who do not qualify automatically can apply by submitting a Summer EBT application. To qualify for SUN Bucks, these students must: Be enrolled at a school that participates in the NSLP or SBP, and Live in a household that meets NSLP Income Eligibility Guidelines to qualify for free or reduced-price meals. 

 

The SUN Bucks application will soon be available online in English and Spanish. Applications will be accepted through August 31. 

 

Families who need to apply or who have other questions about SUN Bucks benefits can call the SUN Bucks Contact Center at 1-833-543-3230 (TTY: 1-800-833-6348) between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday–Friday (except observed holidays).
