Summer EBT is Now SUN Bucks

Here’s What You Need to Know

• Eligible families of school-age children will receive money, per child, to purchase groceries over the summer.
  
  
• Families will be automatically enrolled in SUN Bucks if they are already enrolled in SNAP, TANF, or FDPIR benefits or meet the requirements for free or reduced-price school meals.
  
  
• Qualifying groceries include fruits and vegetables, meat, poultry, fish, dairy products, breads, cereals, and non-alcoholic drinks.
  
  
• SUN Bucks can be spent in-store and online.
  
  
• Funds will expire 122 days after issuance – so families are encouraged to use them sooner rather than later.
  
  
• Families can receive SUN Bucks on top of other nutrition benefits like SNAP and WIC.

New Application Available Now

For families who would like to apply directly, the new application is available online through MI Bridges.

Deadline(s): Families must apply by April 15, 2025, to be eligible for the first issuance of benefits in May. Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis until August 31, 2025.
