SUMMER EBT: Utah SUN Bucks (also called Summer EBT) provide funds to buy food during the summer when schools are closed. Families can get $120 on a SNAP benefits card for each eligible school aged child. If you receive SNAP, TANF or Medicaid, and/or you qualify for free or reduced school lunch, your school-age children will automatically be enrolled, and SUN Bucks will be added to your SNAP account or issued as a separate electronic benefit transfer (EBT) card this summer. If you attend a school where everyone receives free lunch (this is the case for East Midvale Elementary!) and you do NOT receive SNAP, TANF or Medicaid, you can apply for SUN Bucks here. Applications must be submitted by August 31, 2025. For more information, please click on this link: https://jobs.utah.gov/customereducation/services/sebt/
